I usually stay away from movies with numerals behind it's title. Especially the animated variety.
While I appreciate why studios create sequels — to capitalize on the popularity of hit movies — too many sequels feel reheated in the cinema kitchen without any new ingredients.
But the new edition of The Incredibles titled, no surprise, The Incredibles 2, is simply wonderful, a reason for anyone who loves movies to rush to the theater. And the perfect family film for (finally) the start of summer.
Am I surprised? Yes. While I loved the original, I could not imagine how its magical blend of comedy, action and humanity could be recreated much less expanded. But the new Incredibles creates a fresh movie experience by tossing in enough reminders of why we loved the first film without letting our memories trap the filmmakers into duplication. The results are extraordinary.
And we know the movie will work from the first moment.
Immediately we return to the unique world populated by a family that saves humanity, and deals with real family issues, all in the same days. We're again treated to questions that all parents face. How do we balance what our work requires with the time our children need? How do we try to make the right choices for our kids even when those decisions may not be popular? And how do we help our offspring become who they can be without making up their minds.
The parents in Incredibles 2 deal with family realities at the same time they respect their needs to protect their society from villains. But that's not going well when the film begins. Because superheroes are against the law, these parents with extraordinary powers face the realities of securing conventional employment and searching for a place to live. Then, in a twist, a successful business mogul with a heart comes up with a scheme to return the superheroes to public acceptance, aided by his sister who knows how to use technology.
From this delicate premise, writer/director Brad Bird cleverly expands the narrative of the first film, retains the visual magic of its mid-century design, deepens the family relationships, and manages to inject light commentary of issues that plague our world today. Without letting the film get heavy with its point of view, or slow the action to deliver an editorial, Bird raises questions we all should consider, including how we protect our intentions to be inclusive, stand by traditions of right and wrong, and look for leaders who govern by principal rather than segmented sentiment. Amazingly, in an animated world far from our own, Bird says a lot about what's happening in our world this week. Plus, any chance to experience the work of vocal cast members Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson and, especially, Catherine Kenner is icing on the cake.
Yes, I usually fear sequels. But this one is so good it restores my belief in creative moviemaking. Bird took a chance waiting 14 years to pick up where he left off. And it's been worth the wait.
Content: High. Once again, Pixar uses a story filled with action and humor to help people understand something quite complicated.
Entertainment: High. Visually, the movie pushes the boundaries of animation, especially in its interpretation of the balance every parent faces.
Message: High. As the film entertains, it also makes us think about the challenge in any society of how to retain a high moral ground.
Relevance: High. Any opportunity to have fun at the movies and discover something to talk about — as a family — is welcome.
Opportunity for Dialogue: High. There's plenty to talk about from the dazzling visuals to the fun performances and the meaningful moral.
The Incredibles 2 is rated PG for "action sequences and some brief mild language." The film runs 2 hours, 5 minutes. 5 Popcorn Buckets.
Hollywood loves to look inside people's minds.
And, as we see in The Incredibles, well-crafted animation can produce more insight into human behavior than many live-action films.
While conventional films often look at behavior from the outside — by showing the steps and words that emotions inspire — the creative animators at Pixar can journey anywhere they wish to examine what makes people interesting. Live action movie makers may try to explain the mind by looking at what people say and do while Pixar can travel inside to explore the ins and outs of all those emotions that drive how people act.
In the wonderful "Inside Out" we meet an 11-year-old girl who's upset about moving to San Francisco. As she tries to adjust to new surroundings, challenges at school, changes to her environment and pressures on her parents, her emotions naturally go into overdrive. She simply doesn't understand why her world needed to change. And, rather than just watch what happens, Pixar gives us front-row seats on Hollywood's first thrill ride through the complex collection of feelings we call emotions.
According to our Pixar tour guides, the mind is home to all types of conflicting emotions. Yes, we feel joy, at the same times that we may experience sadness, disgust, anger and fear, too. To keep all these emotions in balance, internal control rooms try to manage how various emotions compete with each other for control over thoughts, actions and words. Sometimes the emotions work in harmony, other times in conflict. And, when we sleep, beware who's on duty. Those wake-me-in-the-middle-of-the-night dreams can be intense.
With the visual innovation that Pixar brought to "Toy Story," "Wall E" and "Finding Nemo," "Inside Out" creates a most visually exciting journey. The trek the emotions make through the mind dazzles with creative details. What makes the film so special, however, is its insightful commentary into how emotions may work. As exaggerated as the narrative may sound, the story advances a point of view of how complex people may be. Every day, our emotions create the highs and lows we experience. And "Inside Out" helps us learn a bit more about how the dots connect.
As with any animated film, "Inside Out" must balance what will appeal across the ages. While all family members will savor the animation — especially the sequences inside the control room and the mind — some may focus on the thought provoking ideas about how we react, what we can control and how we try to keep our emotions in check. The vocal performances — especially from Amy Poehler (as Joy) and Phyllis Smith (as Sadness) — radiate with emotion. Poeller, in fact, delivers a broader emotional range in this performance than her work on television permits.
"Inside Out" is a visual masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of animation and much more. In addition to giving us a something to look at, the film offers plenty to think about, too. After all, with all these emotions floating around, it's quite a job to stay in control.
"Inside Out" is rated PG for "mild thematic elements and some action." The film runs 94 minutes and can be streamed online.


At least once in our nursing career, we will encounter difficult patients. No matter how we try to be patient and understand them, there will always be patients who make our lives during duty a bit less than tolerable.
Smile, use an open posture, introduce yourself, extend your hand for a handshake, look patients in the eye for 3-5 seconds. Eye contact is importantas it expresses honesty and openness. Patients are more likely to respond to the message that is coming from your body cues than your voice cues. It is best that you relax and control your body in a heated situation. Also, don't get too close to the patient because that can be interpreted as invading their space and prompting aggression.
As said earlier, you should not let your emotions control your actions. Be aware of your emotions. Don't react, instead, be proactive and know your triggers. Take actions that could calm you such as taking deep breaths, and speaking slowly and quietly. Then, lower your tone, and think about your body language. Always maintain an optimistic, calm and constructive state of mind.
Set certain boundaries, clarify behavior that's unacceptable and demand respect. You are not anybody's slave here, you are a professional healthcare worker. There are patients who are unaware of how they appear to others. But in case this technique doesn't work, such patients are sometimes asked to leave the practice.
Conflicts and difficulties sometimes stem from misunderstandings. Do not underestimate the positive difference that good interpersonal communication skills can make in certain situations. Also, listen empathetically. Search for the patient's agenda. Echo or paraphrase what the patient says, and even try to acknowledge their feelings. You may say "I can see you are frustrated" or "I can understand how you feel that way," then try to discuss possible solutions with them.
Don't argue with your patient since arguing will lead to a spiteful cycle of attacks and retaliations. Most patients want to feel heard, understood and validated. Say "I'm here to help you and hear you out".
If you are dealing with a violent patient and you feel that your safety is threatened, excuse yourself and leave the room. Ask help from either another colleague, or security. However, do not tell the patient or threaten them that you are getting security as this may intensify the situation.

For those who put at least an hour into Project Stream, you'll be able to keep your copy of Odyssey after January 15 when the test ends, as a permanent addition to your Ubisoft account.

Instead, she aims straight toward the heart of adult pop (slightly ironic, given the album's title and its 17 magazine-styled artwork), which really isn't too far off from where she was with on her first record.
Digipaks will of course affect the balance a little. A brief note Such is NOT the case.


I have had the pleasure over the last 3 1/2 weeks to have Sigma's latest 120-300mm F/2.8 to play with for review. I am still putting together my full review, but today I wanted to share my initial thoughts on this lens that I would describe as a sports photographer's dream lens.
The Sigma 120-300mm F/2.8 is Sigma's only lens currently in their "S" or Sports category of their Global Vision line of lenses. It is a lens that covers relatively close subjects with a 120mm focal length at the wide end and farther away subjects with the telephoto abilities of a 300mm at the far end. It is all tied together nicely with fast maximum aperture of F/2.8, putting it in direct competition with really expensive prime lenses such as the Canon 300mm F/2.8 IS II.
This lens is an absolute tank, simple as that. Its mostly metal construction gives it a weight that I was simply not expecting, having shot with "heavy" lenses such as the Canon 300m F/2.8 (this felt much, much, heavier). This is not necessarily a bad thing, but something that you should be aware of. This is not a lens that you will be able to hand hold for long periods of time. I have shot an entire high school football game hand held with the Canon 300mm F/2.8 before, and I wouldn't even think about attempting it with this lens.
The styling is sleek and resembles the rest of the Sigma Global Vision line of lenses. Overall, I am very impressed with the build quality of this lens. It doesn't just look quality, it feels like quality too.
In addition to looking like a quality lens, the Sigma 120-300mm also performs very well, based on my initial testing. I have had the opportunity to shoot both wildlife and sports with this lens – the two things it is designed for – and I loved it in both situations.
As you can see, the Sigma is not quite tight on the sign as much as the Canon is. Not a huge issue to me, as it is still very close (and that the Sigma is half the cost of the Canon), but it is worth noting if you are interested in this lens.
For wildlife, this lens offers a great range, being able to shoot animals close to your car (or blind), as well as animals off in the distance. But the weight I mentioned earlier comes into play here because it makes it harder to quickly react to fast moving animals – such as birds in flight.
On the sports front, this lens is an absolute dream. I was shooting at an MLS preseason game last weekend and I did not even take the Canon 300mm out of its bag, I enjoyed using the 120-300mm so much. It was convenient to not have to switch from the large lens to a smaller lens on my other body as often as I normally do when using a 300mm prime.
I have to send the lens back on Thursday, but I'll have one more chance to shoot with it tonight at another MLS preseason event with the Portland Timbers. It will be hard to let this lens go, I have grown really fond of it over the last month and really wish that I could afford the $3500 price it commands. Be on the look out for my full review sometime next week, possibly after WPPI is over.
What questions do you have for me regarding this lens? I would love to be able to address as many of them as I can in my review, so please leave any questions, or specific things you want to know about in the comments below and I will make an effort to respond as well as include them in my full review.
Where is the final review?
Would like to get one for Pentax K-mount..
He said it cost $3500.
How fast does it focus when tracking a moving object in AI servo mode … especially one coming towards you or going away from you at speed?
Also, how fast does it snap back into focus if it loses the subject and you need to refocus?
The Canon 300 & 400 F2.8 both work really well in these areas.
I'd be surprised if was parfocal but just wondering how far out of focus does the AF get when you zoom? A video clip would be great so . I'm speaking for video purposes. The color and contrast look to be a little less compared to the Canon but that can be a good thing as it is easier to add that later than undo it, especially in video.
Great question, I will try and get a video clip testing that for you before I send it back tomorrow.

Will Amanda & Josh Get Married On TV? This 'Bachelor In Paradise' Couple Has The Best Chance
By Caitlin Gallagher
Sept 6 2016
Amanda Stanton was sent home by Ben Higgins on The Bachelor after their hometown date, but her search for love has led to one of the most successful relationships on Bachelor in Paradise. Josh Murray and Amanda have been together since he showed up to Paradise, so will Amanda and Josh get married on TV after Bachelor in Paradise? Yes, beyond their constant making out, there is actually a legitimate and secure relationship. Since this pair is most certainly getting engaged during the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise on Sept. 6, there is a strong chance they could agree to a Bachelor wedding on TV.
Out of the couples on Bachelor in Paradise, Amanda and Josh seem to have the best chance of being the next Jade and Tanner, who got married for a TV special on Valentine's Day 2016. Yet, since the couple isn't officially engaged (at least to TV viewers), there is no news if they would take the plunge to do a TV wedding. And that's cool because Bachelor Nation needs to see the engagement first before we can get to a wedding.
As for what Amanda and Josh think about having a TV wedding, the pair has stayed mostly quiet on the subject. When she gave an interview to Glamour before she filmed the finale of Bachelor in Paradise, Amanda was already confident in her relationship with Josh and how they would continue to be together after Paradise no matter if they got engaged or not. When asked if she would leave the show engaged, Amanda said, "If he were to propose, I would say yes — but at the same time, I'm not in a rush. If he didn't, I wouldn't be disappointed. Regardless, 100 percent we're going to continue our relationship outside of Paradise."
Since it's pretty much a known fact that they will leave engaged and that they are living together now (with Amanda's two children from a previous marriage), there's a significant chance that her stance on when she wants to get married to Josh may have changed. And there is no way that ABC isn't going to try to get these two lovebirds on a wedding TV special. Glamour noted that Chris Harrison had said that Josh and Amanda are like the cake toppers of a wedding cake (uh, totally accurate per usual, Chris) and Amanda admitted, "We've talked about getting married, and he wants a bunch of kids. He wants like three more kids [aside from mine]. He wants a basketball team. So, yeah, it's something that we both want." Josh and Amanda talked about kids during the Sept. 5 episode of Bachelor in Paradise and he definitely seemed sure that he wants a family with Amanda.
When Glamour directly stated that Amanda and Josh could have a double wedding with Ben and Lauren B., Amanda said with a laugh, "Yeah, or at least a double date!" While you would think that could be awkward considering Amanda's past with Ben, Lauren and Amanda are friends, so a double, televised wedding could truly be a thing of Bachelor beauty.
However, Ben and Lauren haven't even officially said if they will have a televised wedding, but they will be on TV again soon with their new Freeform show Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After . The show will document their relationship leading up to their marriage, so a TV wedding seems pretty inevitable for Lauren and Ben. Plus, when Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss was teasing Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise on Twitter, he even mentioned that the franchise wants a double wedding, so just saying — a Ben/Lauren and a Amanda/Josh wedding would be pretty good.
Regardless if Josh and Amanda decide to go the Jade and Tanner route of getting engaged on Bachelor in Paradise and then having a TV wedding, there is no doubt that this couple is ready to start their life together post-Paradise. As Amanda told Glamour, "Yeah, I think this is it, for me. He's the most perfect guy for me I could have ever imagined." Sounds like she's ready to marry Josh — televised or not.

The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the filing of an answer in a garnishment action was the practice of law requiring an attorney. Last week, Georgia Governor Deal signed a bill which reversed that decision. The bill may be read here.
Effective immediately, any authorized officer or employee of a business entity of any type, other than a natural person, is authorized to execute and file a garnishment answer. Such actions are no longer considered the unauthorized practice of law. However, if a traverse or claim is filed against the Answer in a court of record, an attorney is required to represent the entity in further garnishment proceedings.
It will no longer require an attorney to respond to garnishment.
– If you receive an Order of Default, contact outside counsel as soon as possible, as you have only sixty (60) days to open the default and file an Answer to limit the Company's liability for the debt.
If you have any questions, a great person to contact for further guidance on this issue is Robert S. Thompson at Hawkins Parnell Thackston & Young, LLC.
The ABA Journal Magazine published an informative article by Ian T. Matyjewicz and David A. Grossbaum on coverage issues for innocent insureds when other attorneys in the firm are excluded wrongdoers. Without repeating the issues here, there can be serious coverage concerns for innocent partners who are sued as a result of intention misconduct by other partners. Although insurers often provide coverage for "innocent insureds," coverage can still disappear under certain scenarios depending on the policy or the law of the state. Among the concerns can be policy rescission which voids the policy, thus eliminating even the innocent insured coverage.
If you have partners or are in charge of your firm's coverage decisions, the article provides important considerations. A good broker or coverage counsel can help you analyze the various policy language options that will provide the maximum coverage.


I made my first ever hexagons in 1984. My grandmother, Elsie, and I took a quilting course at Bowen Park. We learned how to do English paper piecing for one of the blocks in the sampler we were making. Here's the story on that. It was supposed to be a four block wall hanging, introducing us to a few different aspects of quilting. Applique, paper piecing and using templates. We pooled our blocks together and made a baby quilt for one of my nephews.
We were some kind of pleased when we had it finished. I laugh when I see the work in this one. The quilt itself was hand quilted, lots of free space. I still have the instructions all hand written as the instructor gave them. There are notes in the margins telling me to stitch around the appliques and down the lattice strips. The templates that we used to complete this beauty were made from brown paper bags and discarded hospital xrays. It cost us $20 for an 8 session course. The fabric was $3 per metre. I'm pretty sure the light green is a poly cotton. The red is left over from a dress I made my daughter back in 1981.
We were given 7 pieces and proceeded to make our hexagon flowers. They sure make crisper flowers. One of the flowers is made using the plastic and the other paper. I mean once we got started it was hard to stop!
I've been working on this one ——> for a few years now. I like to think that it is part of the "Slow Stitching Movement" created by Mark Lipinski. It is definitely a slow process, picked up now and again when I've got nothing else at hand.
So, back to the reason for this post. I have finally finished this 42″ square quilt. I had a quilt magazine that showed this quilt as a wallhanging. I loved it and brought it out again once I rediscovered making hexagons. While on an awesome Neighbours in the Hood trip to Gibsons I purchased the fabrics to make it. This was in August 2009. Those hexagon flowers are appliqued onto 9″ squares and set with what they called the Thrifty block. I finished this in April 2012.
Last week being February 2018, I decided I'd get to marking the quilt top for cross hatching the background. I stitched 1/4″ around the inside of the flower petals and centre.
I made the binding when I finished the flimsy. Another one out of the cupboard! Summer is coming so perhaps it'll become my out door table cloth!
I fell in love with this quilt the first time I saw it back in 2013. But by the time I got around to buying the pattern it wasn't in stock at the LQS. I put my name on the list to buy the Hex N More ruler, hoping there would be a pattern coming with the order. Not so. On our 2015 Row x Row Road Trippers adventure I found the pattern at Kismet Quilts in Port Alberni. Life sometimes gets in the way of getting things done, but this was definitely not going to get forgotten!! Last May I had the flimsy done, and the backing ready to go. I couldn't find any flannel backing so went with the Fireside. It's 100% polyester and I've heard it referred to as "adult minke." I wanted to quilt the individual "lights" with a variety of free motion designs. One definitely needs to be in the right space to do that and so there it hung, waiting until the right time to quilt.
<— This is my colour version. I used all but the purples from my stash. That's some Canuck blue in there. Unfortunately the Canuck green didn't go with the other green/blues in my stash. Probably a good thing as the recipients are diehard Maple Leaf fans.
I loved the finish of the Fireside backing but I found it heavy to work with. This is a lapsize quilt, 51″ x 64." BUT it definitely finishes beautifully . The colour here is Lagoon. To make the label I used my inktense pencil crayons to colour the northern lights onto white fabric which was then appliqued onto a half hexagon.
I used three different variegated threads and seven different free motion designs. I'd almost completed all the designs and decided I didn't like one so spent the next 3+ hrs unpicking!! Talk about a labour of love! lol The more you practice the better you get.
<—This movie, Aurora Borealis, is a favourite of mine. It's about an elderly man and his grandson and awesome. One day I'll be heading north to see and hear those beautiful lights.
The best part of this quilt is how much it is loved and appreciated by the recipients, Mr & Mrs Jones.
September 14: Our seventh delivery day to Canuck Place Children's Hospice was just as exciting as the previous six. There's just something so special about this day. This year was a little different in that we delivered in mid September instead of our usual August dates. The really nice thing about this, and it just magically worked out this way, was our mini quilt show to the quilters at our September Sewing Day. We had a few new quilters who got to see first hand what we had been doing since April 2011.
Over the last five years we've spent a few days having a quilting/binding marathon. We did things a little differently this year. Jackie was in town and Joan put her to work piecing backings for the quilts she would do on Mabelline in between customer quilts. I quilted a couple at home and made a couple of trips to Tsawwassen to bind & label quilts. Nine quilts were long arm quilted and the other seven done on domestic machines.
The staff at Canuck Place were pretty happy with what they saw. We laid the quilts out in the Great Room and staff came in to take a look. Two were snapped up to be auctioned off at the Gift of Time and Gift of Love galas in October & February.
This year we had one quilt that was hockey related and the rest had cats, penguins, whales, birds, flowers, hearts and angels. What a difference from 2011!
The picture on the right was from our first delivery day in August 2011. All the quilts had names and numbers of the players. All work was done in blue, green and white. This year we had a variety of colours and appliques and it all looked awesome, taking nothing away from, but adding to, the original I Believe in Blue quilt pattern. To see larger versions of these pictures, click on the photo. You can also see all the quilts on Maple Leaf Quilters Facebook page under the album I Believe in Blue 2017.
Joan and I echo this message to Doris Beckthold, Wanda Shortridge, Jackie Hatfield, Deborah Snider, Patricia Rose, Ruth McIntosh, Juli Bartholet, Lynn White, Gail MacDonnell, Kathy Campbell & Liz Tius. Yes, YOU are amazing!! As well, a thank you to Lorraine Stanley, Denise Jury, Mickey Daniels & the Strubey & Hofmann families who sponsored quilts again this year.
I have a quilt top waiting to be quilted. I want to free motion the entire quilt using eight different patterns. In order to do this I needed to practice on smaller sections of quilts. <— This heart block was stitched using a variegated machine quilting thread. It is not meant to be random stitching, it is supposed to be uniform in its design. As I was working on this, I began to wonder what the heck I was thinking practicing AROUND an applique! It definitely makes it more difficult but it felt good to get in some free motion movement.
The next step was to practice some pebbling using white quilting thread on the white background. Again, what was I thinking trying to learn this technique around applique…apparently I love a good challenge.
On the solid white blocks I quilted around some ghost hearts. That was a little bit easier, I think. I used a water soluble ink to trace different sized hearts on the block and then worked around them. I am pretty happy with using this technique, yes, there are some squiggles and sometimes those figure eights that I'm stitching become sixes or tear drops but they are really fun to do. They definitely take up lots of thread!!
I made the centre of this table topper as the working sample for curved piecing at MLQ Quilt Camp in June. A completed sample had the curved piecing outer border and I wanted to replicate it here. Unfortunately, I did not have enough black fabric to do that for the entire border. And once I was finished the BLACK ON BLACK pebbling I was ever so glad that I had four less areas to pebble!
I tried pebbling in the evening. No good for these 62 yr old eyes. So I took it up in the morning with lovely morning light shining through the window, nope, even three different lights shining, nope!!! Glasses on, glasses off. Peering in, shoulders up, shoulders down! I did persevere and get it done but there was MUCH eye strain.
All the curved black areas are pebbled stitched. Even with the eye strain I could begin to see improvement in this technique. I am ready to do it again, using a variegated thread on a solid. I also practiced a "paper clip" stitch on the inner black borders. Even though it was black on black it was definitely easier to see the larger pattern. Now the secret is to keep going in the direction you begin!!
I have been stippling and meander quilting for many years. Using a repetitive stitch to free motion quilt has been a challenge and an awesome brain exercise.
This —> quilt will be the next challenge. I will be free motion quilting the individual colours using variegated threads but not sure that there will be pebbling on this one.
OMG, it is year seven of our I Believe in Blue quilt campaign! We've been working on our Canuck Place quilts since February and will be making the delivery in September this year.
<– Fin spends a lot of time at Canuck Place entertaining the kids and since the last Fin quilt was made in 2014 I thought it was time for another. This quilt is a team effort by my sister Pat who made the blocks and then passed it on to me to do the applique work. Can't wait to get it quilted!
Over the seven years I can recall three other Fin quilts.
My good friend & quilter, Doris, from Powell River worked on this Fin quilt. Jamie sponsored this quilt and silk screened this awesome Fin and flowers onto a whole piece of fabric which Doris then sewed into the quilt.
This quilt reminds me of picket fences and flowers in the spring. Click on the pictures to get a full size view of the quilt.
<– Fin made two appearances in 2013. Another good friend & quilter from Powell River, Wanda, enlarged this picture of Fin from Canucks Kids Club & then appliqued it on top of the quilt flimsy. FYI, there are a lot of cool things for kids to see and do from this website http://kids.nucksnation.com/ —> This Fin was created in a "Flat Stanley" form using a cute stuffy that belongs to my grandson, Sawyer.
Hey Fin!! Over here!!! If the kids at Canuck Place Children's Hospice love Fin as much as Sawyer does, there'll be a lot of smiles with this latest Fin and his heart shaped bubbles.
This years crop of quilts has an awesome animal theme from whales to penguins to birds to ladybugs & more sea creatures.
Back in mid April MLQ received an email from a Canadian quilter living in Colorado. Attached to the email was a picture of this quilt. It popped up on the internet and Joanie fell in love with it. She wanted the pattern so she could make it for her sister living in Ontario. I made this quilt from a Lavender Hutt Designs pattern in 2010. It is no longer available. Using EQ7 I was able to give her the size of the blocks and the basics of how to assemble it. We emailed back and forth as more instructions were needed.
I love the geese in the corners. Joanie's sister has received it and is thrilled to own this quilt. She has it hanging in the pro shop of her golf course and fields questions about it all day long. Love a red & white quilt!
As the emails continued we learned a lot about each other. When she isn't working she is volunteering her time for others.
Joanie says: I also make little quilts/with teddy bears for the Ronald McDonald House and the children who are so badly medically challenged. I belong to the U.S. Submarine Veterans, Rocky Mountain Base of which I am the Base Secretary and Newsletter Editor. My hubby was a Chief Electrician with the U.S. Navy on board submarines for 20 plus years. That is how I got in with the vets and do this volunteer work in his memory. Through the Base they have a National chapter called Kaps for Kids and they visit Ronald McDonald Houses all over the US and that is how I got started making quilts for the kids. It keeps me busy and happy. When I have time I also make baby quilts for an organization that assists unwed mothers who are pregnant and addicted to drugs. There is a lot of sadness in this world so as you well know, we do our best to help a wee bit.
Click on the pictures for a larger view of the quilts/bears. Corresponding with Joanie brings back memories of the days when "Pen Pals" were so cool. Email is awesome and so is snail mail! Might be time for another postcard exchange!!
Shania Sunga Designs created this awesome "Homecoming" flag quilt. It measures 33″ x 16 1/2." There's always room for something this size on the wall of a patriotic Canadian!
This is the first one that I assembled. I changed the formation of the geese to the "Flying V," somehow it just felt right. As I've written before, a lot of family and friends not only loved it but had coveted it as well. This one I gave to my niece Kadi.
Sean and Kayla had admired that one and when asked if they'd like one, the answer was Yes!! As long as the fabric stash holds out I'll be able to keep making them.
This actually was the one I pieced/fused for Joan and it came back to me as she is going to have the "Autumn Homecoming" instead.
<— I haven't made this one yet as it does say "autumn." I've still got to make one for myself and possibly two more, all before the Canada Day 2017 celebrations.
I won't be quilting this one but have definitely gotten a lot of free motion practice in on the other three with more to come.
This one is the third I've done for a friend of Sean's. He saw a picture of it and immediately said " I want it!!" Love how 30 yr old guys can appreciate this art form and how very patriotic they are.
Here's a little about Shania Sunga from the CSM webpage : A love of nature and wildlife is a tremendous source of artistic inspiration for Shania. Born and raised on the beautiful coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, her appreciation for nature is evident in the complex designs of her appliqué art quilts featuring the landscape and wildlife of Canada. Self-taught in art and quilting, Shania went on to attend the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, graduating with a degree in Industrial Design. Her art and quilt patterns are sold around the world.
The Canadian Mystery quilt definitely reflects her love of nature and Canada. I am hoping to have the quilt done in time for our annual Canada Day celebrations.


Factors that could lead to an upgrade include improvements in the economy's longer-term growth prospects, allowing for more fiscal space and enabling a faster reduction in general government indebtedness, the ratings agency said.
"We could also raise the ratings if we were to view policy-making as having become more transparent and predictable, or if we were to assess that the country's institutions were strengthening, or if we had better visibility on longer-term risks." A material weakening of Hungary's public finances or an increase in external vulnerabilities could prompt a downgrade.
"We could also lower the ratings if we were to view increasing disincentives to the central bank to effectively fulfil its price-stability mandate or if we saw the transparency of key institutions weakening further, especially if we anticipated an eventual fiscal risk associated with such weakening," S&P said, adding that Hungary's ratings are supported by its lower external vulnerabilities, including a lower level of FX state debt and reduced ownership of sovereign debt by non-residents.
"The ratings also benefit from our assessment of Hungary's comparatively advanced economy and relatively diversified export structures".
S&P noted a "considerable" improvement in Hungary's external financial profile since 2009, pointing to deleveraging as well as a reduction in external issuance of government debt in favour of domestic issuance and increased sales of government securities to households. The strong performance of net exports, particularly auto exports, gave Hungary a higher current account surplus than any other economy in the Visegrád Four.
The agency said its sovereign ratings on Hungary "remain constrained" by "a less predictable policymaking environment, low potential growth and high general government indebtedness". The emigration of skilled workers and weak capital accretion would weigh on underlying growth. S&P complained that "increasing opaqueness" around institutions such as the central bank "reduces our visibility of future risks both in and outside the financial sector".
It said that certain central bank policies could "potentially hinder [the central bank's] willingness and ability to pursue its inflation-targeting mandate in the future". The bank's assumption of interest rate risk via its provision of interest rate swaps to the market will create losses if and when policy rates are raised, which is at odds with inflation targeting, S&P explained, while conceding that inflationary pressure would probably not recur in Hungary until late 2017.
S&P also acknowledged National Bank programmes to normalise lending, particularly to SMEs, as well as the reduction in vulnerability resulting from the conversion of retail FX loans into forints.
The agency said its base-case scenario over the 2019 forecast horizon assumed that improved tax revenue and interest savings would be used for expenditures or to balance tax cuts in other areas, rather than for debt reduction. Thus it said the general government deficit would "not narrow significantly" from 2pc of GDP and state debt as a percentage of GDP would reach 74pc in 2019.
"Even if the pace of deficit reduction is faster than we currently anticipate, we think it unlikely that net general government debt would be lower than 60pc of GDP by 2019," S&P said.
It counted among downside risks to the base-case fiscal forecast further state acquisitions, an expansion of fiscal programmes to support a slowing economy, electoral considerations, budget spending on big projects, such as an upgrade of the Paks nuclear power plant, the materialisation of contingent liabilities, such as for guarantees to the state-owned Magyar Eximbank or Hungarian Development Bank, or the possibility of the recapitalisation of the central bank by government finances.
The government reiterated that it expects upgrades by at least two of the three big ratings agencies this year, putting Hungary into the investment-grade category.
The Ministry of National Economy said the affirmation of the rating was "in line with expectations" and noted that the agency had acknowledged Hungary's good economic performance, its reduced external vulnerability and improved fiscal balance. S&P had also pointed out increased domestic ownership of state debt and a lower level of FX state debt, as well as positively assessing the country's well-trained workforce and balanced export structure.
The ministry said earlier in March – after Moody's did not update Hungary's sovereign rating, though a review had been scheduled – that the government expects at least two upgrades this year.
S&P, Moody's and Fitch all rate Hungary one notch under investment grade but the outlooks of Moody's and Fitch are both "positive".


Recent film trends have shown that the good are few, and that the few are typically re-makes, so it was great to hear that Martin Scorcese's latest film followed suit. The Departed, recycled from a Chinese film with a far less phonetically-pleasing title, may even be the new exemplar for such cinematic strategies: It takes a terrific concept, direction by America's most consistent gangster-movie mastermind, and employs more leading men than an Ocean's Eleven sequel.
The Departed takes place amidst a brewing tension between Massachusetts state troopers and an Irish crime boss named Costello (Jack Nicholson). The film follows two young police academy graduates at the crux of the ensuing sting operation: Billy (Leonardo DiCaprio), a well-meaning undercover cop with a mafia-friendly surname, and Colin (Matt Damon), a mob informant shooting for a high-profile detective job at Costello's bidding. Ironically, both men become moles -- one taking down the crime boss from the inside, and the other protecting the same man's interests from inside the police station.
Despite their interrelatedness, the two men fail to meet for the first two hours of the movie. This fractured story line allows Scorcese to film varied scenes, exploring different viewpoints of the same sphere. In a DiCaprio moment, the viewer may have one impression of a supporting character, but this is subject to change when peering through Damon's eyes. The Departed's plot avoids two major crime caper pitfalls: complexity and subtlety. Audiences are typically interested in the emotions and bloodshed beneath a crime, but writers often pay too much attention to details and logistics. People don't care about the means by which felons launder money, and Scorcese realizes this. The director does just the opposite, vaguely referencing Costello's wrongdoings, while spending the bulk of time on relationships and mind-games.
The audience is also spared the unnecessary dramatizations of physical violence. By taking all sensationalism out of fatalities, Scorcese makes the action much more realistic, nearly satiric. Never before have A-listers been killed with such little dignity, and I appreciate this forthrightness.
This thriller is one of the year's best films, and is bound to go down in history as a major Scorcese work. Come for the cast list, stay for the story.
Half Nelson, the first feature by director Ryan Fleck, steers clear of the inspiring cliches of teacher-student films and the usual violence of films set in the ghetto.
Half Nelson is a character study, with a meager plot stretched into a one-act film. Not to say this is a bad thing. If one wishes to be thoroughly entertained, steer clear of this film. If one wishes to have a comfortable time at the movies, steer clear of this film. However, if one wishes to view a unique and risky example of independent cinema, see this film.
Any viewer can tell how much blood and sweat went into making Half Nelson, which was shot on 16mm for less than $1 million. Ryan Gosling is truly admirable for seeing something in this screenplay. After breaking viewers' hearts in The Notebook, Gosling carries this film. Gosling plays Dan Dunne, a Brooklyn middle-school teacher who is addicted to crack cocaine, with admirable subtlety. It's a performance that will make the audience cringe with anguish and sympathy as Gosling takes one self-destructive step after another.
It isn't surprising to hear that Half Nelson was once a short film by Fleck titled Gowanus, Brooklyn. That film starred the young actress Shareeka Epps as a bright, tough African-American girl named Drey in Dunne's class. The film characterized her unlikely friendship with Dunne, after she discovered his crack habit. Epps reprises her role in Half Nelson, and is astonishingly good in her feature debut, giving a real, down-to-earth performance. Rounding out the main cast is the charismatic Anthony Mackie as Frank, a local drug dealer who is actually nice.
Anna Boden's screenplay, co-written by Fleck, is filled with ranges of intensity, awkwardness, sadness, and humor. Fleck veers from the norm in his direction, giving an extremely claustrophobic look into the lives of the characters.
Half Nelson, although somewhat painful to watch, will stay with you for a long time.


New York City, New York – May 24, 2017 – A New Yorker born and raised with a Dominican heritage, Zavier found his way to music by being at the right place at the right time. Someone liked his look, but soon enough it was his way with the sound that garnered him the success he's had thus far. Working since the late '80s, Zavier has been in a number of ensembles and worked with a handful of orchestras. Throughout he notes how he took a grain from each to develop the artist he is today, Zavier El Nuevo Feeling del Merengue.
After years of playing with others, he's decided to venture out on his own as Zavier El Nuevo Feeling del Merengue. He said he's "returned again to the rhythm that runs in my blood that is the romantic melodic merengue." With that, he's preparing for the release of two singles that'll drop this coming June, one of them being "Amor." This and a lot of his other material is heavily influenced by merengue. Hence the name, his sound is a light danceable, tropical latin rhythm mixed with melodious love song vibes.
In the past Zavier El Nuevo Feeling del Merengue has performed throughout New York City in the Dominican Parade and the Hispanic Day Parade. He's also taken the stage at festivals from Pennsylvania to Texas to Florida. Next up he'll head down to the Dominican Republic on a promotional tour late June with the new material he's currently finishing up.
Those interested in adding "Amor" to their playlists, reviewing his music or speaking with Zavier El Nuevo Feeling del Merengue can get in touch via the information provided below.

Like apocryphal secret agents, committed improvisers frequently travel from country to country, inserting themselves into new musical situations with unfamiliar partners, and then move on. French soprano and sopranino saxophonist Michel Doneda has been one of those peripatetic sonic travellers for more than a quarter century, and these CDs find him improvising alongside habitual or new associates.
Rather than novelty or comfort however, the main differences between Udarnik and Cristallisation is numerical. Although on the latter CD Doneda and Berlin-based trumpeter Nils Ostendorf, who frequently plays with trombonist Matthias Müller, appear to be working through 10 short, acoustic improvisations, the tracks were actually distilled from more than four hours of music recorded in a chapel in Tanus, France, with only interactions and phrasing preserved. Recorded live during a festival in Maribor, Slovenia eight months later, in contrast Udarnik matches Doneda's reed strategies with the juddering tones of Swiss accordionist Jonas Kocher, with whom he has previously recorded, alongside the Slovenian duo Tilt, consisting of bassist Tomaž Grom and computer manipulator Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec, both of whom are involved with creating temporal, spatial and electro-acoustic sounds. However "Konstrukt", the final track, was created and recomposed by Milan-based producer Giuseppe Ielasi from material recorded by the other four in Maribor.
If anything though, "Konstrukt" sounds more physical than the other tunes since the track constructed by Ielasi is awash with time-stretched, granular and signal-processed textures that are as fortissimo as they are flanged. Audible are quivering bellows pulses, pedal- point reed breaths and disconnected string twangs, along with fiction created by scrapping metal against unyielding objects, plus a distended combination of sounds relating to lip-raspberries and flatulence.
Throughout the other tracks the intermittent pulsating that moves from straight lines to undulating rhythms defines the four-way improv, whether the result is high-pitched and strained or stentorian and thumping. Although lines may as often splinter and bounce as unify, defiant harshness doesn't interrupt the flow. In fact, the concluding "Udarnik 4" may serve as a demonstration in miniature of the suite's exposition and resolution. Grom's staccato and col legno plinks contrapuntally tie together computer wave forms, reed mastication and the accordionist's tremolo growls. After the cascading lines swell and reach higher pitches due to the saxophonist's reed stridency and Kocher's pulsing delays, the resolution finally unites Doneda's lip-pressured vibrato and the squeeze box player's glissandi into a single tone cluster, underlined by computer signal processing.
Without electronics, Doneda and Ostendorf attain the same sort of sound meld and exposition, helped in part by the viscosity of the walls of the Chapel of Las Planques in which Cristallisation was recorded. With the harmonies dependent on mercurial nuances that can be discordant or melodious in turn, the two explore a variety of tones and textures with voicing that range from fortissimo to near-inaudible. "Guiffres" and "Oeillet" for instance, which follow one another, almost become a single sequence, with two sound lines advancing in double counterpoint. After Ostendorf's forward-motion oscillations pick up added color from the chapel's architecture, brassy grace notes and reed bites are succeeded by flutter tonguing and circular breaths, finally exposing bell-like timbres. Although there are episodes of more supple timbre construction involving reed kisses, reverberating grace notes and flutter tonguing, rough ambiguity is more common. There are instances in which both players sound as if they are improvising by pressing an inflexible metal sheet against their horns' bells. Other variants force air through both body tubes so that the resulting air almost seems fried.
Fortissimo, cascading and often sounding as if humans aren't involved, the timbres throughout are layered and contrasted rather than blended. "Adernes" for example floats on thick, aggressive tones that encompass dog-whistle-like shrilling from Doneda and watery bubbles from Ostendorf. The final "Fares" adds key percussion and strident vibrations to the mix. The resulting polyphony narrows the output still further to climax with supplementary abrasions.
One doesn't know when or how often traveller Doneda will pass by these spots again. But on the evidence of these discs, defining CDs have been left behind to mark his sojourns in both places.

I have had numerous requests for information on how to properly connect an emergency power source to an urban home, or a rural area electrical system. As with all of the information that I provide my clients, I must strongly recommend that unless you are very proficient and confident with your skill level, I would suggest that this project be performed by a competent, reputable, and licensed electrical contractor. A mistake here could result in serious injury or even death for the person performing the task, or to a power lineman working to restore the problem with the utility's power distribution system.
I personally feel a great need to provide information on this subject, as I have fielded many questions that make me very wary of how some generators are tied in to systems.
For example, I have seen some cases where a 'cheater cord' is used to feed power from the generator back into a system via a range outlet, or an electric dryer outlet. The perpetrator(s) will defend this action by saying that they just shut off the main breaker to isolate them from the utility power. This does work, however being human, we will inevitably make mistakes and the results can be deadly!
Just as power is transformed from a high voltage to a useful, safer voltage such as 120/240V in our homes, this temporary power from the generator will be stepped back up to the high voltage if the main breaker isn't off. As you might imagine, this would be a major problem for a utility lineman working on what should be a de-energized line. The other issue is equipment damage if you should forget to disconnect the generator, and turn the main breaker back on when utility power has been restored. This is why the code demands the use of an approved transfer switch.
Of course, the idea of having backup power in the event of a prolonged or poorly timed utility outage is very valid. With the recent hurricanes and tropical storms in the southeast United States, the tsunami disaster in Japan, and last year's blizzards on the eastern North American coastal states, people in these areas are easily convinced that emergency backup power is a great idea.
So, if you think that you can handle this project, and have checked with your local electrical authority to see if you are allowed to work on your own electrical system (this varies from city to city, county to county, province or state to state, and country to country), and can get the proper permits, inspection, and you have checked your insurance coverage, then we're ready to explain the steps involved with this project.
The primary component required in a project like this is that you MUST have a means of isolating the power provided by the generator (or alternator) from the utility power system, and vice-versa. This is accomplished by the installation of a transfer switch, or a generator transfer switch subpanel.
In my predominately rural location, the most common device that we install is a manual transfer switch, and is usually requested by farmers or acreage owners where dependence on electricity is more crucial for home heat, and to provide water for livestock, etc.
Another factor is that more isolated locations are more prone to utility outages, and generally take longer to restore service. A transfer switch must be sized according to the size of the service, and is usually installed right after the power meter, so that the generator can supply the entire, secondary distribution system. These transfer switches can be operated manually, or an automatic system can be installed.
A transfer switch subpanel is used to select important electrical circuits, pull them out of the main service panel, and feed them from the generator panel, which is supplied by either the utility or the generator. In both cases, the function of these devices is to ensure that the utility power, and the power supplied by the generator can physically never be connected to the load at the same time. Breaking it down to the most simple, and easy to understand example, think of a transfer switch as a 3-way switch.
The utility power would feed in on one of the traveler connections, and the generator supply on the other traveler. The load would be connected to the common connection. As you can see, this makes it impossible to have both the utility and the generator connected to the load at the same time.
To decide what type of installation is right for you, first decide what size of generator / alternator that you are going to use. If you are using a transfer switch, and want your entire electrical system on backup power, the larger KW output of generator that you can get, the more loads you can operate on backup power. For example, take a typical 100A service at 80%. To get 80A of backup power at 240V would require a continuous output of 20 KW (a big generator).
If you are backing up the entire system, any less power and you will have to turn off breakers for heavy, non-essential loads so that you don't overload the generator. I wouldn't recommend any less than a 6000W unit if using the transfer switch option.
If you plan to use a smaller generator, in the 2500W ([email protected]) – 4000W ([email protected]) range, then it is better to go with an emergency power transfer switch subpanel.
These panels are usually sized with a 30A main breaker and are good for up to a 6000W ([email protected]) generator. In this case, you have to decide what loads are essential to have on backup (heating system power, freezer, fridge, microwave, and selected lights), and if there is any capacity left after that, go with some of the "nice to have items". You will only have a few branch circuit positions in the panel so you are fairly limited as to what loads you back up.
Now some decisions have to be made, based on the information laid out above on which application will work for your situation. Which system will you choose – transfer switch panel, manual system transfer switch, or automatic system transfer switch?
For the most part, the electrical power grid is remarkably reliable when you consider all the potential that exists for problems to occur in the production and delivery of power to our homes and businesses. That being said, interruptions do occur, and they don't usually happen when we are out enjoying the great outdoors in perfect weather conditions.
Outages usually happen when we are relying on the safety and convenience of electricity the most, like in the frigid temperatures of a snow storm, the horizontal blowing rain of a hurricane, the icy rain or hail accompanying a tornado, or during the scorching temperatures in the peak of a summer heat wave.
The financial and emotional toll of these power outages only amplify the already traumatic conditions that these natural disasters inflict on us and our families. Having an alternate source of electricity to supply our homes during power outages is a relatively inexpensive way to offer some peace of mind.
This e-book is the first in a series of three giving detailed instructions, complete with diagrams and pictures, on how to install a back-up power system. We take an example of an automatic system that includes a generator and transfer switch installed in a rural home application.

First impressions on first-time VR experience | Imagin&Tonic - VR, AR and game development.
The text below was originally written by Sonia Villanueva @sonianoneka, UX senior, strategist and casual collaborator at Imagin&Tonic. We're glad and proud to share it with in our blog as part of our ux related serie about VR.
A week ago, during a family and friends night summer, under the fully starred sky in a little village in the east of the spanish region of Salamanca, I had the opportunity to test myself -and to observe how people around tested-, three different Google Cardboard glasses. Three generations, aged between 14 and 75, male and females, hard computer users and non users at all, urban people and small village habitants; at the end: the first VR experience for most of us.
Based on that, and on some casual conversations with the team of Imagin&Tonic, I made some observations and notes on the user experience field.
Three generations, aged between 14 and 75, having their very first VR experience.
As more immersive is the experience, bigger is the need of control. VR is a new environment, not only involving usability or ergonomic considerations: here we have to talk about physiological perceptions involving sense of balance and ubiety, and the experience can cause sickness and a feeling of misplacement. Dizziness not always happen, but, when people were thinking aloud, I often heard "I don't know where I am" or "How can I go back?" or even "I don't know where to go".
A HUD safe button would be desirable but, how to select it? In a 360º environment without fixed positions, obvious things like menu buttons are a new challenge in UX.
less important, settings as change user, define speed, audio, etc.
This visual element could display a menu or execute just one action, or even show a map. But more important than the action itself (as depends on the game or context) is where and how to display it.
The optimal location would be a UI element (a button, cross, point…), a non integrated design on the scene, that stays fixed on the top, right or left, of the visual field. Even in a 360º world, and if the journey happens in an action while we are in the center of it, there should be always a frame that is the interface we have to deal with. The optimal location is at the top of the screen, not only due to basic usability standards (we use to look up to locate information, as signage, menus, flights, timetables, header on a letter, etc.) but also because it will offer information that is over the main action, it is a meta information.
The problem here is that, by now, Google Cardboard technology does not allow to move the reticle on a certain point "out" of the 360 scene. We can not use a HUD as classic games use to do. The lack of eye tracking makes impossible to insert a menu or action button where we can fix the reticle, excepting the one in the center of the screen, that, obviously, should be reserved to keep the game action.
Once we know we cannot insert any meta-menu on the screen, then obviously we can insert an icon, or even a tab bar down on the footer of the scene (always visible if you head down or up), and, after a time, learning that if we keep it in the center of the screen, it will offer the actions of pause, stop or re-start. It means that we have to put the main action on a second place and take the time to move the head bottom up to set the icon or bar on the center of the screen. It is not so easy and simply as to focus on a permanent point on the top of the screen.
Another solution would consist on inserting "control points" from time to time, as happens in video games when player ends the level. Again, not as user friendly as the permanent icon on top, and maybe appropriated only for games with several stages and not for continuum action, but it would work.
An always-there menu on the bottom of the viewport would allow the user to easily get access to it and would not bother too much during the experience.
Once the glass reticle is "in touch" with the menu, it is stick to the scene, so the user can move over the menu and select the desired action. During this time, the scene is paused, but the head tracking remains.
Moving the head the user would choose the desired option.
Dealing with your hands while you are in an immersive experience provided only for your eyes (and maybe ears) means a step further. Wearing a VR device you can see nothing except the app inside the glasses, so it is a singular feeling if you have to manage a joystick or a button integrated in the glasses. For sure you can deal with it, but al least initially it could be an uncomfortable situation. Of course the joystick or the physical button that some glasses provide (variations on hardware promises to be the next nightmare for designers and developers) are an optimal place to set a menu or buttons for the basic commands such as stop, pause or restart.
Changing an app is a terrible experience from a user POV. You have to take off the glasses, put off your mobile, close the app, open the new app manually, re-introduce the phone inside the glasses and wear them on again. Really? An app that allows to see the mobile interface would be and excellent idea (or some support on the device OS).
Improve your elasticity. Practice Yoga!
You will need it to fully enjoy a VR experience. Otherwise you won't be able to look behind your back, stand in a chair with your legs down and jump 180º to look behind you or the opposite side. In real world, we turn ourselves to look behind, but in VR, we tend to rotate the head. An small inconvenient, indeed. Just think in the common roller coaster. And when we cannot access to the desired point, both if we are sitting down or standing (just DON'T), we tend to jump, without seeing anything we have around.
Once more we face the convenience of a "safe button". I like this name, "safe", because it is not only for setting purposes, it has a psychological impact: to make the user to feel safe and to give him control. How can we design a 360º view without moving your head or body?
Once more, all this solutions need eye tracking… or maybe lot of UX design and imagination. So meanwhile, Imagin&Tonic will use tones of last two (and common sense) to design solutions of the future!

Korean Drama Review: I Remember You aka Hello Monster
film & television July 18, 2015 1 Comment
Posted a review of I Remember You/Hello Monster, which I am LOVING, over on my lifestyle blog.
The drama is basically a more serious Girl Who Sees Smells, with higher stakes and a higher body count, but the same tongue-in-cheek, bubbly approach to the lead couple interactions, and the same fast-paced, intricately-written approach to the crime plots.
Korean Drama Review 'The Time I've Loved You'
film & television June 29, 2015 Comments: 6
The Time I've Loved You is a Korean drama remake of Taiwanese drama In Time with You, and just started airing. In Time with You, though it kind of self-destructs in its home stretch, is one of my favorite dramas, thoroughly lovely and extraordinarily well-written, that rare story that often transcends its medium to tell something real and gripping about human life and love (I wrote a full review earlier today).
The Time I've Loved You can be viewed one of two days: as an original story by those who haven't seen the Taiwanese drama, and as a remake/new interpretation by those who have. Either way, I can say this: both will find it an unexceptional drama. The premise itself of two 30-something best friends who fall in love is strong, but not a guarantee of success, nor unique (9 Ends 2 Outs had the same premise). What matters is how you take that story and run with it, whether or not dialogue and music, casting, visual and pacing choices add or subtract from that premise. In this case, all those variable choices mostly subtract from it. Editing choices are odd – the drama uses an odd kaleidoscope effect to shift abruptly from past to present and back again – and the pacing is slower than in the first drama.
Korean Drama Review: Emergency Couple
film & television June 20, 2015 1 Comment
Emergency Couple is a fantastic drama, fast-paced with incredible romantic nuance and an aching, so-real-it-hurts chemistry between leads Song Ji-Ho and Choi Jin-hyuk. Medical dramas always sound boring, but I've discovered over years of drama-watching that in fact they're wonderful fodder for romance, mainly because it sets up the leads to work together in a high-stakes, dramatic environment in which they are constantly forced to interact.
Kdrama Review Hyde, Jekyll and I: First Impressions
film & television January 25, 2015 Leave a comment
Ordinarily, I'd stay as far away from a drama centering on a man with split-personality disorder as Indiana Jones from a pit of snakes – but it's been a down weekend, I've rarely not liked Hyun Bin, and there's a lack of dramas in my weekly TV schedule now that Pinocchio has aired. So I thought I'd give this a shot.
Favorite Asian Dramas: #1-5 – Mars, Coffee Prince, Nobuta wo Produce, Thank You, Tsuki no Koibito Reviews
film & television December 31, 2014 Comments: 2
2)The First Shop of Coffee Prince(Korean)
Coming in at #2 is much-loved, wildly famous Coffee Prince, starring Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-Hye.
Eun-chan (Yoon Eun-Hye) plays a girl who's had to grow up quickly in order to keep her family going after the death of her father. When a wealthy, irresponsible coffee-shop owner mistakes her for a boy and hires her to pretend to be his boyfriend so that his family will think he's gay and let him off the marriage hook, a whole series of events are set in motion. When Eun-chan later goes to work at his coffeeshop, an intense attraction springs up between the two – but he still thinks she's a man.
My take: Coffee Prince is just standout in Korean dramas – it's well-written, well-acted, well-directed, with a lovely soundtrack featuring indie artists and stellar performances from both Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye; it's funny, offbeat, and romantic, doesn't drag until perhaps the very end, has a cast of charmingly quirky(and good-looking!) supporting characters, has an unconventional romance trope(guy falls in love with girl whom he thinks is a guy), and even more importantly has that extra spark of magic that just pulls a whole drama together and makes it out-of-the-world amazing.
When it gets good/Got me! moment: end of second episode
Fav scene: it's tied between The Kiss(you know the one;) and the bumping-into-each-other on the street as they're both picking up what she dropped
3)Nobuta wo Produce (Japanese)
Popular, good-looking Kiritani Shuji (Kame) has it all – the unofficial king of his high school, he's loved by everyone from the cool kids to the nerds. There's just one person Shuji doesn't get along with – Akira. The quick-talking, hyperactive Akira rubs Shuji in all the wrong ways. When odd, reserved new girl Nobuko enters the school, she is immediately, viciously bullied. Shuji and Akira agree to work together to transform her into the school queen. An unlikely friendship springs up between the trio.
My take: I came late to the Nobuta fanwagon late, but when I did I fell hard. It was universally recommended to when to try when I first tried Jdramas, and while I liked it then, I just didn't get it, and stopped after a few episodes. Two years later, with 9 other jdramas under my belt, I tried it again…and magic happened. It instantly shot past all the other jdramas I'd seen to become, not just my favorite jdrama, but one of my favorite dramas ever. And this for a show with very little overt romance!
It pitch-perfect, superbly acted (Kame as Kiritani Shuuji is basically a cross between Ferris Bueller and Jim Stark and won the Japanese equivalent of an Emmy for his lead role), well-produced and directed (light and dark are often interestingly played with and there's just some lovely shots peppering it throughout), and completely funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and completely heartwarming. A love story, a coming of age tale, a romance, family, and friendship epic. It's brilliant. It has something for everyone.
When it gets good: I already loved it by the end of the first episode, but the second episode solidified that
HONOURABLE MENTIONS: Prosecutor Princess, Brilliant Legacy, Aishiteiru to itte Kure, Hana Yori Dango 1 &2, Yamato Nadeshiko Shiche Henge, My Lucky Star, Silence, Wish to See You Again, ToGetHer, and Smiling Pasta. These are all dramas which are well-written, compelling, and hugely enjoyable, which I definitely recommend watching if you haven't seen yet, but just didn't quite have that spark of consistent magic that I require in my top dramas, or just don't have my heart in the definitive way the others do.

Korean Drama Review: Pinocchio starring Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk
Wikipedia | Watch online on Viki
Pinocchio is a currently-airing Korean drama starring Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk.
Ha-myung (Lee Jong Suk) has a photographic memory (he has to see something only once in order to remember it) and a happy family – his father is a firefighter captain, his mother a loving parent, and his brother shares his gift. One day, however, his father leads his squad into a terrible factory explosion, and when it's over, most of the squad is dead and Ha-myung's father has disappeared. The media, grasping hold of the story, sensationalize it as an irresponsible captain killing his squad and then disappearing out of fear, and Ha-myung and his family become nationally despised.
Ha-myung's mother decides to kill herself and jumps with him into the sea, but Ha-myung is rescued, miles away, by the kindly, elderly Gong-pil. Gong-pil, who has a few screws loose, decides that Ha-myung is his oldest, long-dead son Dal-po, and adopts him. Ha-myung gladly accepts the identity, and is raised alongside Gong-pil's other son Dal-pyung and his daughter In-ha (Park Shin Hye). The two grow up together and ultimately enter the world of journalism as newbie reporters.
I can't say enough about how deeply lovable Pinocchio is. I had a good feeling from the first episode, when it started out quick and charming and assured…
Kdrama Review: 'Discovery of Romance' First Impressions
film & television November 16, 2014 Leave a comment
Since there's no almost no good dramas currently airing, I hit up Tumblr for older drama recommendations and got Discovery of Romance suggested. I'm two episodes in and finding it very charming. Eric and Jung Yoo Mi previously starred in the classic drama Que Sera Sera together, but as I haven't seen that (it's apparently very dark and features a slightly abusive relationship) I had nothing to go on. After two episodes I would say that while they don't have extraordinary chemistry, and the chemistry they do have is more of the "cute and sweet" variety rather than "crackling and simmering", what they do have is a very natural, convincing dynamic together. Side note: my gold standard forever for physical chemistry onscreen is Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan in Lie to Me. Which is totally unfair to all other drama couples since their scorching chemistry was on another planetary level entirely.
Korean Drama Roundup/Review: Birth of a Beauty, Pride and Prejudice, Liar Game, Iron Man
film & television November 11, 2014 1 Comment
It's a dark season for new television. On both sides of the pond – and in this case by "pond" I don't mean England and the United States but Korea and the United States – the new series that have debuted in the fall have almost universally been disappointments. Here in the U.S., the overwhelming majority of good (and highly-rated television) currently on is the returning favorites, and among the few new successful shows are How to Get Away with Murder and The Flash. The dramas that have premiered and aired in the past few months have also almost all been disappointments, and at this point I'm just impatiently waiting for Pinocchio (starring my love Park Shin Hye!) later this month, Healer in December, and Jekyll, Hyde (starring Hyun Bin!) in January.
Kdrama Review: Iron Man/Blade Man starring Lee Dong Wook and Shin Se Kyung
film & television October 13, 2014 Comments: 5
The most puzzling thing about this slightly odd drama is that it's not based on a manwha. It seems tailor-made to have been based on one of the melodramatic, romantic manwhas that are so often the rage in Korea and Japan. And yet it's an original creation from screenwriter Kim Kyu Wan – to which all I can say is, you got grit, to break from the tailor-made drama template most screenwriters use in this way. Kim Kyu Wan tends to write problematic dramas with a lot of potential, like Cinderella's Sister and Robber. Iron Man centers on Joo Hong Bin (Lee Dong Wook), the oddball CEO of a hugely successful game company (video games, not board games). A chance encounter with Son Se Dong, an aspiring game designer, and the unexpected appearance of a young son he didn't know existed, turns Hong Bin's world upside down.

Shining Inheritance Episode 20 Recap and Review
Drama Index


Old Trafford, Santiago Bernabeu, Camp Nou, The Allianz Arena… When we hear the names of those well-known stadiums a true football fan cannot help himself to associate them to the team who calls them "home". The home stadium of a team is a part of their personality, a part of the team and a fortress, teams would do anything to defend.
But what if a team does not have a home stadium? That was the case with Tottenham Hotspurs ever since May 2017, when they abandoned the White Hart Lane and had to play their home matches at the famous Wembley Stadium. However, the wait for a new home is over. This week it has been announced that a new stadium opened its gates in Northern London under the name of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A long wait is finally coming to an end for Tottenham, who were without a home ever since they left White Hart Lane which was demolished at the end of 2016/17 season. But the wait is finally over with the finished product standing proudly in Northern London, waiting to host its first match in April of 2019. The new multi-purpose Tottenham Hotspur Stadium truly is a work of art, with the world's first dividing, retractable football pitch, which reveals a synthetic turf pitch underneath for NFL London Games, concerts and many other events that could take place here. With a capacity of 62.062, it is one of the biggest Premier League stadiums and the biggest one in London. While we talk about record-breaking numbers, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is also the 2nd most expensive English football stadium (behind Wembley Stadium) and 9th most expensive stadium in the world, with Its cost estimated to be around £1 billion. While there is no official presentation video of the stadium out yet, the following video shows how the newly implemented retractable pitch works, how will it be used and how it was designed.
So, it's settled, April 3rd is the date when we will see Tottenham Hotspurs play against Crystal Palace as a part of the 31st round of EPL. Only 6 days later, the new stadium will also host its first European game, when Manchester City visits Tottenham in the first leg of Champions League quarterfinals. But there is one thing that could potentially set back the grand opening of the new stadium (once again).
The match against Crystal Palace will mark the first official game, however, there will be two test events taking place at the new stadium days prior. On March 24th the U18 Premier League match between Tottenham and Southampton will be played, with around 30.000 people attending the event. Only 6 days later a "Legends match" will take place, where we will see Spurs legends playing against Inter legends, which is expected to have around 45.000 spectators. The two events need to be played without any problems for Spurs to receive a safety certificate, which will allow them to host matches and finally get a new home ground after a long wait and numerous delays.
