Football: a sport where the ball never stops rolling, irrespective of circumstances or weather conditions. Or so one might think. If it were up to the players and fans, there would doubtless be football matches every day of the week, without interruption. The former because they are never happier than with a ball at their feet, and the latter because of the joy their footballing heroes bring. However, sometimes matches do have to be called off, mainly due to terrible weather, but every so often slightly more unusual factors come into play, as recalls.

We start our review of curtailed competitions and missed matches by taking a look back at the German title-deciding match between Hanau 93 and Viktoria Berlin in 1894. The Hanau players were unable to muster enough money to travel to the capital, thereby handing the Championship to Viktoria by default. A century later, the two teams, now languishing in the country’s regional, amateur divisions, decided to re-open this page of sporting history by playing the match that never was, 113 years after the fact.

And so it came to pass that in 2007 the 1894 German Championship was finally decided, but on the pitch this time. Statisticians will note that the two teams faced each other over two legs, using the same heavy, leather balls from the late 19th century, and that Viktoria again emerged victorious (3-0, 1-1).

Papers, please
A change of century provided no let-up in unusual administrative problems besetting the beautiful game. Also in 2007, FIFA was forced to cancel the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™qualifying match between New Zealand and Fiji, following the New Zealand government’s refusal to grant a visa to Fiji goalkeeper Simione Tamanisau. In order to maintain the integrity of the competition in the Oceania zone, FIFA made the decision to call off the encounter, which would finally take place a year later in November 2008. In the meantime, the Kiwis had secured their qualification for the next round, which may have rendered the result meaningless, but not the decision to postpone the original fixture, as Fiji earned a 2-0 victory on the day.

Rather than a visa, it was papers of a very different kind that led to the abandonment of the Dutch league match between Groningen and Ajax Amsterdam in April 2008. Fired up by the prospect of welcoming one of the Eredivisie’s giants to their ground, the Groningen supporters threw copious rolls of toilet paper on to the pitch. Unfortunately, some had the bright idea to light them beforehand, leading to fires breaking out within and in front of the main stand, and causing serious smoke inhalation problems for players and fans alike. Not surprisingly, the match was called off and rescheduled for a later date.

This was nothing especially new to the Ajax supporters, as a month earlier they had endured the cancellation of one of their team’s matches, versus their great rivals PSV Eindhoven, who were league leaders at the time. The reason was one of security, but not the kind at times associated with this fixture. Instead, the Dutch police happened to be on strike that particular day.

In an odd coincidence, a police-related decision during the very same week led to the cancellation of a full programme of matches in the Zimbabwean Championship, so that the country’s presidential elections could proceed without distractions. While football can stir great passions among its followers, it at times has to take a back seat when other national priorities arise.

This was never clearer than the weekend following the events of 11 September 2001, when the scheduled fixtures in Major League Soccer and in many other leagues across the world were called off as a mark of respect. In the same vein, but with a more localised effect, the death of Princess Diana in August 1997 led to the postponement of the English Premier League match between Newcastle and Liverpool, as well as the Crewe-Port Vale match in the division below.

Madonna, Beckham and boars
More recently, the French Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Lille, due to be played at the Stade Velodrome in August 2009, had to be moved to Montpellier. The reason? A stage erected for a Madonna concert had collapsed, leaving Marseille’s material world out of commission. And then there was the friendly match arranged in Australia between Los Angeles Galaxy and Queensland Roar (now Brisbane Roar) in November of 2008. As David Beckham had injured himself in the week leading up to the match and was not completely certain to make an appearance, the match was simply cancelled!

But the professional game does not have a monopoly on call-offs. In the quirky world of amateur football, the reasons behind matches being abandoned or postponed become more original and unusual. In March 2008, an English regional league match in Gloucestershire had to be called off, but neither the weather, a referee strike, nor a flu epidemic was the cause of the cancellation. Soudley were due to host Charfield at their Recreation Ground, whose pitch had been returfed just a few months before. But when the Soudley team arrived on the morning of the match, they were met with a scene of devastation, their home pitch having been completely ruined. The culprits of this wanton act of vandalism were never prosecuted, because they were wild boar.

Aside from the weather and wild animals, health precautions are a relatively widespread reason for calling off matches. The recent H1N1 flu epidemic forced French football authorities to postpone the eagerly-awaited match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the match involving Monaco and Montpellier. A similar problem arose in the Czech Championship, where Teplice had to pull out of their match with Viktoria Plzen, as they only had ten fit players left in their squad.

That incident brings to mind the SARS epidemic in 2003 that caused the cancellation of numerous matches throughout the world of football. That year, a whole tournament was affected, namely the FIFA Women’s World Cup™, which had to be abruptly moved in its entirety from China to the USA.

We bring this quick world tour to a close by hoping that no other competitions will need to be postponed or cancelled upon such short notice, and by wondering about the weird and wonderful reasons that will provoke new call-offs over the next few years.

Brisk business in the transfer market

While the summer is producing the usual number of drawn-out transfer stories, a good number of deals have already gone through. In this its latest transfer update, rounds up the big moves from the last two weeks, with China and Paris Saint-Germain proving especially attractive.

Having already lured Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba, the Chinese Super League has captured another former UEFA Champions League winner, with Mali international Seydou Keita joining Dalian Aerbin after four magnificent seasons at Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain are continuing to spend big. Fresh from recruiting Diego Lugano, Alex, Thiago Motta, Javier Pastore, Maxwell and coach Carlo Ancelotti last season, PSG have now snapped up Argentinian midfielder Ezequiel Lavezzi, a cornerstone of the Napoli set-up over the last five seasons.

Ligue 1 rivals Lille have dipped into the market, acquiring the services of another European club champion in Ivorian striker Salomon Kalou, who had reached the end of his contract at Chelsea.

The two clubs are aiming to topple last season’s surprise French champions Montpellier, who have seen their main goal threat Olivier Giroud depart for Arsenal. That vacancy has now been filled by the Argentinian Emanuel Herrera, who joins the southerners after starring with Chilean outfit Union Espanola.

Italian ins and outs
Fresh from a fine season with Boca Juniors, Herrera’s compatriot Facundo Roncaglia has joined Fiorentina with a view to bolstering their defence, while Morocco’s Mounir El Hamdaoui will be hoping to shine in the Viola front line after a season to forget with Ajax.

Another front man with a point to prove after a forgettable season with Inter Milan is Uruguay’s Diego Forlan, who will be aiming to recapture the form that won him the adidas Golden Ball at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ with another 'Inter', Internacional of Porto Alegre.

Meanwhile, Forlan’s Nerazzurri team-mate and Brazilian central-defender Lucio has joined their big rivals Juventus. For their part, the reigning Italian champions have sold Dutch wide man Eljero Elia to Werder Bremen and brought in Chile international Mauricio Isla and Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah, both of whom impressed with their previous employers Udinese.

Also leaving the Friuli club is another architect of last season’s successful push for a Champions League place, Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, who has left for Inter Milan, with defender Davide Faraoni joining Udinese as part of the deal. Inter have also brought in Argentinian defender Matias Silvestre, formerly with Palermo, while fellow countryman Maxi Lopez is bidding farewell to the San Siro after a six-month stay with AC Milan. The blond-haired striker’s latest destination is Sampdoria, who have just made their return to Serie A.

Youngsters and veterans on the move
After clinging on to their top-flight status in their first season back in the big time, English Premier League side Queens Park Rangers have bolstered their playing resources with a double purchase from Manchester United. As well as signing Korea Republic midfielder Park Ji-Sung, several times a trophy winner during his seven-year stay at Old Trafford, the Londoners have also captured his Brazilian team-mate Fabio. Across the capital city, Tottenham have been making their own moves, swooping for Ajax’s Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen and Swansea City’s promising Icelandic attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The Welsh club have found his successor in Jonathan De Guzman, signed from recently relegated Spanish club Villarreal, who have also bade farewell to Argentinian striker Marco Ruben, now with Dynamo Kiev. Ruben will be teaming up there with Portugal international and recent UEFA EURO 2012 semi-finalist Miguel Veloso, who joins Kiev from Genoa.

One of Veloso’s former clubs were Sporting Lisbon, who have also been busy wheeling and dealing. As well as drafting in Switzerland midfielder Gelson Fernandes, the man who scored his country’s shock winner against Spain at South Africa, the Lisbon club have made a surprise move for Mohun Bagan’s Indian forward Sunil Chhetri, the scorer of 33 goals in 55 appearances for his national side.

Other eye-catching moves include Peruvian front man Paolo Guerrero’s switch from Hamburg to Corinthians, and Clarence Seedorf’s decision to end his ten-year association with AC Milan and sign on the dotted line for Botafogo.

Finally, former team-mate and FIFA World Cup winner Alessandro Nesta has made only his second move at the age of 36, decamping to MLS side Montreal Impact from AC Milan, the club he joined from Lazio. At the opposite end of the scale is the much-travelled Uruguayan goalgetter Sebastian Abreu, who has left Botafogo for Figueirense, the 22nd switch of his eventful career.

Latimore-Powell Rematch 3/19

Rumble Time Promotions, DiBella Entertainment, Warriors Boxing and Holden Productions have announced the rematch of Deandre “The Bull” Latimore (20-2, 16 KOs) and Sechew “Iron Horse” Powell (25-2, 15 KOs) for the IBF #1 ranking in the junior middleweight division. The bout will take place on March 19 at the Choctaw Casinos’ Durant Resort in Durant, Oklahoma and will be featured on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights. Latimore derailed the then #1 ranked Powell’s march to a title shot with an upset seventh round TKO in June 2008. Latimore went on to lose a split decision against Cory Spinks in a bout for the vacant IBF title the following year.

The evening will feature a host of local talent, including 22-0 George “Comanche Boy” Tahdooahnippah and Carson Jones who is coming off a TKO victory of previously unbeaten Tyrone Brunson in December on ShoBox. Also featured on the card are 13-0 Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez and 14-0 Prenice Brewer.

Tickets for the event can be purchased from the Choctaw Event Center Box Office or through Star Tickets 800) 585-3737 or online at www.starticketsplus.com.

Divine intervention at play for Tees Maar Khan

Tees Maar Khan
Festival releases isn't something new in Bollywood. Earlier, Diwali releases used to be most lucrative with the date being keenly awaited by majority of prominent filmmakers year after year. Post that Christmas became fashionable with the long holiday season offering guaranteed results. Of late, it is Eid - most recent example being that of Dabangg - where record breaking collections are being evidenced.

However, how does one explain the journey of a film which has actually traversed through not just one but each (read carefully - 'each') of these major milestones right through its making?

This is the feat that Tees Maar Khan has managed to achieve, something that could perhaps take it through the record books of being the 'most auspicious film' ever made in the history of Bollywood. Here is how the milestones have looked like:

- Shooting of this film commenced on Holi

- Shooting of talkie portions ended on Eid/Ganesh Chaturthi

- Last song, the special 'qawalli' number with Salman Khan (in guest appearance), Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, would be shot during 'Navratri'

- First promo would be unveiled on Diwali

- The film would release on Christmas

"Seemingly there is some divine intervention at play here," says Farah, who is visibly relieved with the speedy shoot that her film has seen, "You may plan a lot of things but ultimately someone up there has to ensure that everything falls in place. We would have never imagined that so many auspicious occasions would coincide with each of the major milestones of Tees Maar Khan. So far, it has been so very good. I hope and pray that this divinity stays on with the film forever."

The countdown has begun!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Sweden)

Tara Karajica is a member of the second annual Locarno Critics Academy. You can follow her on Twitter at @TheFilmProspect.

In the last few years, a cold crime wave coming directly from Scandinavia has made us, and cinema, shiver. Following the success of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo saga, based on Stieg Larsson’s bestselling trilogy, it has revived a deep-rooted genre in Scandinavian literature that is presently fuelling a new cinematic current. And this year, it reached film festivals as well, especially Locarno and Berlin.

In fact, Scandinavia’s long tradition of crime fiction and film, with the printed word and the moving image tightly bound, dates back to 1960s and 1970s Sweden when authors Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö worked together on 10 crime novels about Martin Beck, an oppressed detective working at the Stockholm Homicide Squad.

Those Who Kill (Denmark)

Now, the genre is daringly toying with international recognition, its dark wave feeding crime stories to a greedy international audience. The authors and filmmakers set their stories in highly debauched, corrupt and crime-ridden regions with protagonists as isolated and remote as Scandinavia’s bleak landscapes. Sweden has dominated the trend for various decades, but now, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are actively participating in the construction of a regional network of novels, TV and films that have molded and defined the modern cultural products of the aforementioned countries. For instance, between 2007 and 2012, 12 adaptations of crime writer Gunnar Staalesen’s Varg Veum novels have been released in Norway. Likewise, the criminal world of Dane Elsebeth Egholm has inspired Those Who Kill, another Nordic noir series.

Moreover, a new generation of directors is emerging. Niels Arden Oplev (known for the Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Daniel Espinosa (Snabba Cash) and Thomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) have already achieved international fame, but other names are coming up, such as Norway’s Morten Tyldum and Denmark’s Nicolai Arcel and Mikkel Nørgaard. The latter two’s latest collaboration, The Keeper of Lost Causes (Kvinden i Buret), based on the bestselling novel by Jussi Alder-Olssen, enjoyed a critically acclaimed world premiere at this year’s Locarno Film Festival. Obviously four more films, based on the remaining novels of the saga, are also planned. Nørgaard looks forward to making them as he eagerly wishes to return to this series, hoping the audience will rejoice with him.

With his second feature film, Nørgaard wished to explore a new direction, especially regarding the atmosphere, and to take a Southern European style and bring it to the Nordic crime. He finds it important to nourish, preserve and be proud of the “melancholia” that is entrenched in the Northern countries. Instead of pushing away the darkness, he embraces it in his film, a tactic that may explain the head-spinning success of the Scandinavian crime genre today. Films like Headhunters and Jackpot (both based on novels by Jo Nesbø, who became popular in the wake of Larsson), the Pusher and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogies, Black’s Game (presented at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival) and Easy Money share in Nørgaard's dark vision.

The Keeper of Lost Causes (Norway)

Similarly, Hollywood and the UK are becoming smitten with the Nordic noir genre. English-language adaptions of Scandinavian crime films, TV series and novels are everywhere, from Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia to David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, American versions of popular TV shows like The Killing and The Bridge, and a British version of Henning Mankell's Wallander series starring Kenneth Branagh. Martin Scorsese is planning to direct an adaptation of The Snowman, one of Nesbø’s ongoing Harry Hole series that follows an alcoholic police officer. AMC has just run its third season of The Killing, based on the Danish television series Forbrydelsen and Fox has made a TV movie remake of Those Who Kill, the above-mentioned series based on the works of Danish author Elsebeth Egholm.

While Mikkel Nørgaard does not plan to cross the ocean in order to create an American version of his recent work, he does not rule out the likely possibility that somebody might be tempted to do so in the future. As a matter of fact, according to lead actor Nicolaj Lies Kaas, the success is “to be as local and domestic as possible, to keep the ways of one’s own world” a beautiful and charming thing that can be exported. In that sense, and to stress the powerful success of this wave, The Keeper of Lost Causes has already been sold to various territories.

The myriad remakes and adaptations are a strong affirmation for these Scandinavian authors and filmmakers. Yet, the original books, films and TV adaptations that are inherently tied to their Nordic environment and serve as direct witnesses of the current social situation in Scandinavia. The crime fiction gushing from Nordic geysers will keep flooding bookshelves and big and small screens, no matter how cold and dark they are. Our never-ending appetite for these stories is not only a validation of the Nordic lore tradition of “melancholia” but also a reflection on the dark times we all live in.

NEW YORK, NY (Sept. 7, 2011) – The Film Society of Lincoln Center, America’s pre-eminent New York-based non-profit film organization, announced today that its new landmark state-of-the-art Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center has brought the award-winning chef and restaurateur Jason Denton (‘ino, ‘inoteca, cucina, ‘inoteca e liquori bar, corsino cantina and Betto) onboard to oversee the culinary operations at the Film Center’s onsite lounge café and concessions. The new café, Indie Food & Wine, will open next week and was designed by renowned architect and designer David Rockwell, who was also credited with the design of the new Film Center. The café will further cement the Film Society’s presence on the Lincoln Center campus as a destination and a meeting place, from early in the morning to late into the evening.

“Everything about our new Film Center is cutting edge, and we felt strongly that Jason Denton’s persona, vision, and taste made him the perfect match to lead the culinary charge for our team,” said Rose Kuo, Executive Director of the Film Society.

Jason Denton’s cuisine has Italian roots, which will remain the backbone of the menu at Indie Food & Wine, along with a heavy helping of Mediterranean-influence, which will allow for flexibility and variety in the dishes guests can enjoy. Executive Chef Rebecca Weitzman, who will oversee the kitchen and menus, is the chef and proprietor of Park Slope’s Thistle Hill Tavern and a veteran of Jason Denton’s ‘inoteca cucina. Prior to joining ‘inoteca, she held several positions at Bar Americain, Bolo and Mesa Grill.

“Working with Lincoln Center and the Film Society has been a fantastic experience,” Jason Denton says. “I love films and the excitement of going to the movies, so being involved with this project is incredible! From the beginning, the vision has been to bring our unique downtown vibe and feel to this venue. Like all of our restaurants, Indie Food & Wine will offer casual, fresh, and delicious fare.”

Denton and Weitzman are planning an innovative approach to the café and communal dining experience, quick and friendly service to stay or to go, made with quality and simple ingredients.  Breakfast will feature organic granola, steel cut oatmeal, fresh fruit, a myriad of pastries, and our signature Panini—Camembert and apricot jam or Heritage bacon, cheddar, and tomato. Lunch and dinner will offer composed sandwich and salad options and à la carte proteins, with sides and sauces. Sandwiches include Organic Chicken Breast with dill yogurt, feta, and tomatoes; Duck Leg Confit with Black Mission Fig Jam. Fresh market salads; Greenmarket Chopped, Bitter Green Goddess and Chickpea, Mozzarella, and Black Olive, among others. The daily selection of rotating Proteins (served with choice of one side or half salad and one sauce) includes House-Smoked Trout; House Roasted Organic Turkey Breast; Pork Belly; Heritage Bacon; and more. Sides, such as Greek-Style Fingerling Potato Salad, Roasted Asparagus, Romanesco and Almonds, Spicy Sicilian-Style Cauliflower, and more will accompany a variety of ever changing sauces.

The Concession, like the café, will offer organic and locally sourced items, including a variety of gourmet popcorn; butter and sea salt, parmesan-black truffle, Chile-lime, and salted caramel. The Concession will also offer other movie-snacks such as a House-made Pretzel with Whole Grain Beer Mustard; Organic Beef Hot Dog with Pickled Green Tomato Relish; Brooklyn-made Artisanal Chocolates, alongside “Classic Movie Candies” including Junior Mints, Mary Janes, and licorice.

The Rockwell Group selected industrial, salvaged and repurposed materials for Indie Food & Wine to suggest an environment that is not built on exclusivity but is more direct about the execution of its craft. An oil-rubbed walnut wall frames both the main counter and concession counter opening to the lobby. A perforated blackened metal band forms the base of the wall, creating a visual linkage to metal panels in the theater. The east end wall is composed of an alternating series of curved plywood panels and perforated metal wine display racks. The curved panels, which evoke film being pulled out of its reels, were designed by Brooklyn artist Susan Woods, who salvages panels from lumber yards, and re-purposes and re-combines them to create organic shapes. The lighting fixtures, which were customized by Rockwell Group and designed and fabricated by Rich Brilliant Willing (RBW), are comprised of blackened steel hang rods with hand blown pendant lamps by Danish designer Sofie Refer.

In 1998, Denton opened the diminutive, but highly successful, ‘ino in New York City’s West Village. Known for its robust Italian wine list and delicious menu, the award-winning restaurant built a loyal following and is often credited with being at the forefront of the burgeoning popularity of both Italian specialty sandwiches and wine bars in the United States. Building off the success of ‘ino, Denton went on to open ‘inoteca, an authentic Italian cucina with an award-winning menu and wine list, which serves up simple but sophisticated Panini, Antipasti, and small plates. Also in 1998, Denton worked with chefs Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich to open Lupa Osteria Romana, where he remained a partner for 11 years.  In winter of 2009, Denton opened ‘inoteca e liquori bar, which features an expanded menu and an innovative cocktail program spearheaded by renowned mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim. In the fall of 2009, Denton opened corsino cantina, a rustic Italian wine bar and restaurant in the West Village, and most recently, in July 2011, Betto opened its doors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Denton was awarded the “Rising Star Restaurateur of the Year” award for New York City in 2008. The same year, Food & Wine, in their annual tastemaker awards dubbed Denton an “Italian food emissary.” He has co-authored two cookbooks, Simple Italian Sandwiches and Simple Italian Snacks, both published by HarperCollins.

The new Film Center, which officially opened on June 17th, houses 2 theaters and an amphitheater. The 150-seat Francesca Beale Theater and the intimate 90-seat Howard Gilman Theater show new specialized film releases. The Gilman also offers special programs. The 90-seat amphitheater, with a 152” Panasonic Plasma screen (the largest of its kind on public display in the country) houses lectures, panels and educational programs.

It was with some trepidation that I went to see Carrie but there was also a good degree of excitement too. Not only was there was a strong cast in the film but it was directed by Kimberly Pierce who had already directed Boys Don’t Cry and Stop-Loss, and it starred Julianne Moore and Chloë Grace Moretz in the leading roles.

There’s another big reason why you should be hopeful about the remake of Carrie, excuse me, rather the new version of Carrie for this is a new adaptation from the Stephen King novel not a straight remake, something that seems at odds with the final reason for getting excited about the film, one of the writers. Co-writing this new version of Carrie is Lawrence D. Cohen, the man who wrote the screenplay for the original Carrie film which Brian De Palma directed back in 1976.

It seems odd then that if this is a new version of the novel and was clearly trying to distance itself from being a straight remake, that they would bring on board the screenwriter from the original film but let’s not be picky, the original Carrie was after all a very good film. The upside is also that since it was such a good film then perhaps the original writer would bring some of the talent he poured through the keyboard back then.

Plot.pngA reimagining of the Stephen King novel about a young girl called Carrie White who is a shy and quiet girl, outcast at school and overly protected by her deeply religious mother. Within the shy girl is a woman with more power than anyone could reckon with and as the bullying increases and the prom approaches so does her power and her desire for revenge.

TheFilm.pngCarrie2013.jpgI was right to have some trepidation, in fact I should have had more. I thought this version of Carrie was downright awful. Many of the key aspects that made the first film so strong were thrown away for this “reimagining” and what was left didn't have a single one of the key values of the original, instead they are completely lost in this muddled and quite heartless remake.

I am now saying remake for whatever we were told before about the film being something more akin to a new adaptation direct from the book it certainly turned out just like a modern remake. While the story was different in places it turned out that these were just superficial differences and didn't carry much substance.

On the positive side there was a modernisation that fitted the story well and never overpowered it, shown well with such moments as recording the opening incident on the mobile phones and posting the video on the internet, modernised indeed but exemplifying their superficial nature. While it was a clever idea to update the story it never really added that much to the overall story apart from reminding us we were in a present day setting.

The opening scene showed a lot of promise though as the slightly erotic and uncomfortable moments of watching Carrie showering turn into surprise as we see blood slowly mingling with the shower water. I was excited to see how this scene was filmed, reminding us of the original in a nicely done homage style opening. Yet it very quickly turned away and strange quirks began popping up which quickly began to disappoint.

There were the direct to camera moments which broke the connection with the audience mid scene, similar strange angles popped up on occasion in the middle of scenes and felt very distracting. These initial oddly framed shots were closely followed by the strange choice to escalate the powers of the lead character within a few minutes of the film opening, something I don’t remember in the original.

It’s with the powers of the lead character where I had my greatest issue with the film. Not only did they kick in very early and in much greater force but in an attempt to modernise the character we saw her fascinated by them, researching them, and mastering them all too quickly. The great problem with this is that well before we move to the climatic and massively important scene at the prom we’ve already seen the character do all the things she’s about to do at the prom. Any surprise from these moments is no longer there for she’s done everything, there’s nothing shocking or new to be seen. Before the prom she’s also mastered her powers and tested them out, and this gives us the feeling that she's doing this with very different motivations, and ones which don't give us the thin justification of what her mother and the bullies have piled on her.

In the original Carrie’s sexual awakening was also awakening her powers, powers which grew slowly and revealed themselves in moments when her own emotions, like any other teenager, were getting out of control. She was never truly in control of them and was scared by what was happening, far from mastering them her religious background was pushing her away from them believing something terrible was happening to her. She never wanted to be the outcast, she wanted to be normal and accepted.

As we see more of her powers revealed in the original film we also see that she loses more and more control, but it’s only when she does lose control that the powers and her mastery of them come to the fore, unfortunately at this point she’s lost control of herself and the final scenes are truly a revelation for the character and her powers.

In this version of the film we aren’t long into the film before we know she’s powerful, she can control them, and she’s been learning and practicing. Gone is the sexual awakening and the idea of losing control, and that means that she’s a lot more aware of what she’s doing and why than the original character was. Any sympathies for her and the ideas of her being the victim of bullying have long passed.

The relationship with the mother is less than interesting too and never do we really feel there’s a breakdown or reversal in the power of the relationship. Instead the idea of the powers and the special effects take the fore and the subtleties of that relationship are gone.

There are moments in the film that seemed pointless – the boy helping her to size a window on the library computer is a glaringly odd moment that seems to suggest a thread lost in editing and an old scene left mistakenly in; the pregnancy; the final scene which fails to shock, and more. There is a feeling that the film has been edited down to within an inch of its life and aspects like this reflect that. This is one of these cases where I'd expect to find out that the film was changed to make it more exciting and action orientated for that accountants dream of the PG13 audience.

There was one more thing that really annoyed me about the film and does so for many films featuring the power of the mind, the fact that mental powers only work if you wave your hands and fingers about at the object you’re influencing. I thought the fact that these were powers of the mind meant that they were controlled by and emitted from the mind, not the contorted fingers, twisted arms and hunched shoulders.

Irritation aside it was really the fact that this film shot itself in the foot by overplaying the powers before the prom scene, for any tension and suspense building was well and truly gone at this point. What was to come was more of the same just bigger, with blood, flames and with lots of waving hands.

With the relationship between the mother and daughter feeling pretty flat, much like the overplayed bad bullies, the main aspects of the original were lost to effects and a desire to focus on the use of the powers over anything else.

There are some positives for the film and one of those is the way that it has been modernised. You might expect this to go too far or become a little gimmicky however it's actually neatly done. If we forget the idea that Carrie is learning about her powers, the inclusion of the mobile camera footage and of the character doing internet research feels right, it feels as though it's what they would do even if it doesn't work with the story.

Both Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore are very good in their roles and put in powerful and interesting performances. Of course I am putting to the side the problems with their characters and the threads around them and commenting purely on their performances. Also the effects are good, particularly the car crash sequence post prom, but here more than anywhere else it felt as though there was a desire to create cool set pieces over everything else.

Overall.pngCarrie isn't a patch on the original film, not by a long shot. Of course some people will say that this is down to the way we so often view films for the first time and remember them fondly from the future. I don't believe that's true for Carrie and it's clear to see why when you watch this new version and see what's missing.

With the story turned around showing Carrie experiencing her powers to full effect well before the prom and researching them seemingly without trepedation, almost all the build up and tension that is released in the prom scene in the original is gone. All that's left here is to showcase effects making more of them and making them bigger than before. There is still tension there but it relies on us just waiting for the big moment which has been completely set-up before our eyes.

The characters aren't that interesting either and while Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore are both very good their characters lack a lot of the core of their relationship from the original film. The fear of the mother that builds to a crescendo is sadly lacking.

At least we'll now know that we'll have plenty of warning from people with mind control powers, they'll be waving their arms around, waggling their fingers and hunching up their shoulders, pointing clearly at what they are about to unleash on.

Passport Cuts 14 Jobs

Mar 21 2012 | 1:43pm ET

Hedge fund Passport Capital has slimmed down in the wake of last year's double-digit loss.

The San Francisco-based firm has laid off 14 employees, including seven staffers, it said. The job cuts came over the past week.

Passport lost 18% last year. Following the layoffs, it employs 76 people, including 34 investment staffers.

"We made the difficult decision to do some downsizing of staff last week, reducing to approximately the headcount we had at the beginning of 2011," the firm said in a statement.

The firings were first reported by Bloomberg News.

The smaller Passport is up 3.7% this year, through February.

The story behind him not having any death records is because he was born at home Stillborn and was placed in a box and buried by his father in the Leverett Family Cemetery. His grave was under a tree, but the tree had been cut down and only an indention remains. I was shown by Grandma Ammons were he was buried and that is where the marker sits with his name.

Eternal happiness Quotes

It appears that mankind in this life are not agents of trial for eternity, but that they will eternally remain agents of trial. To suppose that our eternal circumstances will be unalterably fixed in happiness or misery, in consequence of the agency or transactions of this temporary life, is inconsistent with the moral government of God, and the progressive and retrospective knowledge of the human mind. God has not put it into our power to plunge ourselves into eternal woe and perdition; human liberty is not so extensive, for the term of human life bears no proportion to eternity succeeding it; so that there could be no proportion between a momentary agency, (which is liberty of action,) or probation, and any supposed eternal consequences of happiness or misery resulting from it.

Ethan Allen

The happiness of God-realization is self-sustained, eternally fresh and unfailing, boundless and indescribable. And it is for this happiness that the world has sprung into existence.

Meher Baba

Macassar Ebony Table

comments (0) October 24th, 2012 in Reader's Gallery

thumbs up no recommendations

Woodworker: William WellsFor Wells, who interned with Michael Fortune, this table (12 in. deep by 54 in. wide by 32 in. tall) was a lesson in grain direction and curves. Wells chose Macassar ebony veneer because its distinctive grain would stand out as it wrapped from the top down the front and back. The ebonized cherry stretcher was steam-bent and joined to the legs with mortise-and-tenon joints and to the top with dowels. The finish is lacquer.

Four Year Old Now A Big Star At The Carrier Dome

By now, you've probably seen this Youtube video of 4-year old Brendan Caraher announcing his favorite Syracuse Orange basketball players.

It's pretty impressive that all he needs is his father's prompting by saying a jersey number, from there Brendan does the rest.

It's been going on all season, Brendan will cheer on his beloved Orange and announce the names of players during the game.

Ryan Caraher of Liverpool posted the video of his son on Wednesday, January 17th. The video now has over 23,000 views.

Brendan is now a big star in the Carrier Dome as players and SU fans want to meet him. Watch this report from CNYCentral Channel 3.

Bajaj's RE60: an auto, a car, a Nano killer?

Will Bajaj Auto's ultra-low-cost four wheeler, RE60, become a Nano (the small car launched by Tata Motors) killer?

Rajiv Bajaj, managing director of Bajaj Auto, would probably cringe at that question. "As a marketing position, we are an anti-car company," he told a press conference in New Delhi on Monday, a fews days before the Auto Expo. "This vehicle was born out of the costs and skills of a two-wheeler market. There must be a starting point for a strategy, which, in our case, was a brand."

The RE60 represents the culmination of a four-year project to introduce an ultra-low-cost four-wheel vehicle for Bajaj Auto. To be sure, the company, when it started on the project in 2007, did indeed set out to create a Nano rival in collaboration with partner Renault Nissan.

The RE60 represents the culmination of a four-year project to introduce an ultra-low-cost car for Bajaj Auto. AFP

However, the concept was dropped because "it did not make sense." The better option was to go in for a "four-wheeler", said Bajaj, adding that the RE60 was eventually completely developed in-house.

Just as well to call it a 'four-wheeler" than a Nano killer. After all, there's not much left to kill in the Nano; poor market positioning and distribution network has left the car, once touted as the world's cheapest, struggling to find buyers in the Indian market. Plus, in terms of looks, the RE60 is a bit gawky and doesn't quite look like a car either.

Nevertheless, it's highly likely that comparisons will be made, at least in terms of pricing.

According to a Business Line report, the RE60, which weighs barely 400 kilograms, is expected to cost around Rs 1.8 lakh and will be produced in Aurangabad, Bajaj Auto's production base for its three-wheeler range. Fitted with a 200-cc rear engine, it will have petrol and CNG/LPG fuel options.

During the unveiling of the model, the company outlined some parts of its strategy for selling the RE60.

One, in India, the company is eyeing the market of five million three-wheelers in India, nor ordinary individuals looking to buy their first car, as its target audience. Since Bajaj Auto is the dominant producer of three-wheelers in the country, that means it's not trying to grab market share from other companies; instead, it will attempt to convert its own customers to opt for the RE60. "I feel that in the next 10 years, that entire fleet can be replaced with something like this," said Bajaj.

Three-wheeler commuters are unlikely to complain - auto rickshaws and good-carrying three-wheelers have always been perceived to be somewhat of a safety hazard because of their instability (three wheels) and lack of a proper roof or side doors (in the case of auto rickshaws in particular).

According to a Business Today report, the company already has an ally in Delhi's Chief Minister, Sheila Dixit, who apparently is quite eager to get rid of these "eyesores" (autorickshaws) from the city. "Do not be surprised if a diktat to replace all three-wheelers with products like the RE60 happens within a year or so," the report noted.

Two, if priced right, the environmental friendliness and high fuel efficiency could add to the allure of the RE60 within its target three-wheeler market. According to media reports, the vehicle's fuel efficiency is said to be more 35 kilometres per litre. In contrast, the Tata Nano offers about 25 kilometres per litre.

In addition, the RE60 emits just 60 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre- the lowest for a small car anywhere in the world, according to experts, which should further bolster the appeal of the vehicle among state governments seeking to cut down carbon emissions in urban centres. It is being touted as a green replacement for autorickshaws.

Three, Bajaj Auto plans to aggressively market the RE60 in global markets. At the press conference, Bajaj said that Sri Lanka could, quite possibly, be the first market where the RE60 is launched, even ahead of India. In Sri Lanka, however, the target could be ordinary individuals looking for a cheap self-owned vehicle to commute. Bajaj Auto already exports 10,000 three-wheelers every month to Sri Lanka and 90 percent of them are used for personal travel, the company said.

Africa is another market that the company is keen to tap, especially since public transport in the continent is extremely poor. This strategy leverages on the company's capacity to sell in overseas markets. "We make about 5,20,000 three-wheelers a year, of which only 2,00,000 are sold in India; the rest are exported," said Bajaj.

So will the RE60 become the success that the Tata Nano hoped for but has not yet achieved? Only time will tell. But if all goes according to plan (and government regulations permit), we might soon be saying goodbye to our three-wheeler rickshaws.

Meanwhile, here's a list of reasons to ban that autorickshaw.

Darko Entertainment Adapting I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

June 6, 2008

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

Darko Entertainment, Richard Kelly's newly launched production company, has signed on to adapt the bestselling book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" written by Tucker Max. Any book with a title like that deserves to be adapted. The book is composed of various short stories narrated by the author surrounding his real-life testosterone and sex-fueled escapades. The film will be a loose adaptation of the story The Austin Road Trip, where Tucker and his friends head off on an impromptu trip to celebrate their friend's bachelor party. Tucker abandons his friends in the pursuit of sex and ends up getting getting banned from the wedding. This definitely sounds like a fun film that will be interesting to watch come together.

The film is being adapted by Tucker Max and newcomer Nils Parker. Bob Gosse, of Niagara, Niagara and Julie Johnson, will direct. Shooting is set to begin in July in Shreveport, Louisiana. Darko's Sean McKittrick commented on the acquisition, saying, "Richard, Ted and I all appreciated Tucker's gonzo style of writing in his book and had long been following the project. The story's uniqueness appealed to our own sensibilities of storytelling." The book has stayed on the New York Times bestseller list since its debut in 2006.

Tucker explains why he chose to go with Darko over other production companies. "We went with Darko over everyone else for many reasons, the main one being exactly what I wrote about here: They not only 'got' the creative vision behind the movie, but they were basically the only company that, when I talked to them, I didn’t feel I was dealing with financiers, I felt I was talking to actual artists." It's geat to hear that Richard Kelly's company has such a strong vision and creative team behind it. I'm looking forward to seeing this film, as well as Kelly's The Box, as they develop over the next few months. Has anyone read "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell"? Is it any good?

    I'm not going to lie "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" is a light, enjoyable read. Its really easy to get sucked into and once your out you realize you wasted your time because anyone could write it including yourself. Tucker Max is the ipidimy of an asshole. It's random stories about getting drunk and barely sleeping with women, its makes for a terrible fucking movie.
  • moldybread
    you meant "epitome", yeah??? I would like to see it as it sounds like my own personal autobio....getting drunk and chasing women, riding motorcycles...what else is there in life??
  • Rob
    Ive read it. Its actually a pretty funny book.
  • Tom
    the book is so incredibly hilarious. when i heard a while ago that they were doing the movie, i almost lost it with excitement.
  • Robert
    The book is fantastic. There are parts where I have fallen down on the floor crying from laughing so hard. And of any story to adapt, "The Austin Road Trip" is the absolute best. I recommend you get the book to read that story. Then you will understand how funny this movie will be. Also, Tucker has a complete production blog where he updates all of his fans about progress. I recommend that you check that out as well.
  • Jeff
    I agree with Robert and Tom, his website and book are two of the funniest pieces of literature online or in print that I have ever read in my entire life. I was in pain reading some of his stories from laughing as hard as I was, and although it seems that they have combined several of his stories into one (The Austin Road Trip has nothing to do with a wedding) I have been excitedly following the production of this movie for months ever since it was first mentioned on Tucker Max's message boards.
  • Mike
    Even though it's based on The Austin Road Trip, it's ultimately a fictionalized story.
  • ohsamma
    I would in no way call the book "literature", but it is one of the few books I've read that has made me laugh outloud, tears streaming down my face - and I'm a girl. It's definitely more marketed towards the male "sex and drinking stories are awesome!!!1!" crowd, but, well, TM does them so well just about anyone can see the humor.
  • sam
    I hope they serve beer in hell, is awsome. Anyone with a a satire humor will love this movie. Disney lovers stay home! Those of you that haven't read the book, buy it. I'll be shrink wrapping it for my daughter when it's time for her sex education.
  • Bob
    The book is definetly worth a read. Keep an open mind, and allow yourself to be sucked into his stories. The great thing about them, is not what is going on, but how Tucker tells the story. It's like watching a comedian telling a joke that isn't that funny, but his delivery leaves everyone in stitches. Fortunately for Tucker, his stories are amazing! Combine that with his unique way of storytelling and you're hooked! I'm looking forward to this movie, as from reading his production blog, he will very much be involved in every aspect of the movie that he can... and that can only lead to a great ending. Hopefully it all works out for the best.
  • Christine
    Tucker Max is a liar. None of the stories in his book are true. Yeah, they're mildly amusing at times, but when you consider that this tool invented them, they're far less entertaining. Once you see this loser in person, you realize that he is not the "alpha-male" that he portrays himself to be. Check out the Opie & Anthony interview, and you'll see what I mean.
  • Kendo
    I really can't see what is so funny in Tucker Max, his stories (fairy tales more like) or the whole "Fratire" thing. I also can't for the life of me see why on Earth Darko Productions are filming what looks to be the worst movie made ever. Tucker's stories are basically Loaded/Nuts/FHM etc. in book form, "Huh huh huh, I like, like beern'chixn'sports huh huh huh" Tell me where the humour lies in that and I'll laugh. Someone above said "if you like satire you'll like Tucker Max" or words to that effect. No If you like the fabricated rantings of a narccistic sociopath devoid of any genuine humour, with obvious "punchlines" and that, if you read between the lines, do little else than to highlight the author's issues with women and self esteem, then you'll love Tucker Max.
  • Pilot Abilene
    Tucker Max is a buffoon. Kelly is a genius. Why is this happening?
  • Iczorra
    People nay-say Tucker, his writing, his movie, etc. because they're unable to imagine living life by their own rules, as he does. In my opinion, people that get offended by the nature of the material Tucker writes about are uptight, moralistic, can't-find-the-fun-in-life prudes with no sense of humor. As far as why this is happening, Pilot, perhaps the guy you think is a genius sees something in his professional field that you don't. I'm just throwing that out there as a possibility.
  • rose
    Living life by their own rules? You mean men living in a society where women are merely objects to abuse and make fun of. Rape culture is not a joke, Tucker Max. My sister was raped by an asshole like you who thought it was all a big joke to do horrible things to women and she will never be the same.

Nutritional Review of Newman's Own Four Cheese Pizza

It's the eternal quandary: you want to eat healthy but eating well takes so much time! Sometimes, frozen pizza is what's on the menu-- is it really that bad? Take a look and judge for yourself.

pizza image.jpg

Natural Ingredients:

•  Multigrain crust  (wheat flour, water, vegetable oil [[corn oil, extra virgin oil], flaxseed yeast, sugar, salt, whole oat flour]

These are all pretty straightforward, common ingredients for a pizza crust. Notice that they use flaxseed, a great idea for adding Omega-3 fatty acids and lowering cholesterol. Notice, however that "wheat flour" is not the same as "whole wheat flour." Those looking for a true whole grain crust can keep looking. The whole oat flour and flax though again, is promising. In addition, the lack of mention that anything is organic means that many or all of these ingredients are not organic and also could be genetically modified, or else the manufacturer would likely be boasting organic and non-GMO.

•  Low moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes)

These are straight forward, simple ingredients of mozzarella cheese. The enzymes from microbial, plant or animal sources, are used for coagulation of the milk into cheese.

•  Sauce (tomatoes [diced tomatoes, tomato juice], water, tomato paste, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, sugar, spices, garlic*, onion)

The term "spices" can be used to cover what is not being mentioned in this list of ingredients, so those food-sensitive, and get headaches from  "autolyzed yeast extract" and other flavor enhancers, beware! It is always best for the food manufacturer to just lay out all the ingredients plain and simple and not use catchall words or terms like this.

•  Cheddar cheese (pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes), parmesan cheese (part-skim pasteurized cow's milk, cheese cultures, salt, rennet)

Rennet is a powerful enzyme for coagulating that takes cheese from liquid to solid, and is found in milk-fed calves' stomachs. Today, rennet can also be derived from fungi, bacteria and other sources.

•  Asiago cheese  (pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes)

This Dietitian's Low-Down:
  • A thinner crust means fewer calories, but be sure to stick to a serving size (about two slices) to not exceed the 300 calories it has!
  • Not necessarily whole grain all the way, as the primary ingredient would say "whole wheat" if it were so, not "wheat flour."
  • This pizza has saturated fat from all the cheeses, not a good idea to eat too often.
  • Overall, this pizza's use of whole oat flour and flax shows it's heading in the right direction.
  • This pizza has no vegetables, which we need five + servings of per day. Get creative and top it with colorful bell pepper strips, spinach, mushrooms and whatever other veggies you like, or add a large salad alongside your pizza.
  • Scores better than some other store-bought pizzas in my book, but this doesn't mean it can be eaten without discretion.

Default How much protein should a person get?

Atkins says to calculate protein by height, not weight. A woman 5'5" (like me) should get 73-152 grams of protein per day. I thought I was doing well at about 50, but I had stopped losing. I looked this up yesterday for a co-worker, who is also 6' tall. We were amazed to see that he needed 89-186 grams of protein a day--he, too, thought he was doing well at 50. Both of us have noticed an increase in energy with an increase in protein.

73-152 grams of protein is about 16 ounces per day.
89-186 grams of protein is about 20 ounces per day.

I changed my serving sizes just a little--4 ounces of turkey at two meals and a few eggs during the day get me to the correct range. (I had been doing 2 oz servings of meat for some strange reason.) Protein shakes and bars can help, too--without adding extra sugar (carbs).

Out Of The Blue | Fit Pregnancy

Out Of The Blue

Many new moms are blindsided by postpartum depression. Learn about some lesser-know risk factors and what you can do during pregnancy to minimize them so it doesn't happen to you.

Postpartum Depression

You experience something very stressful.

The death of a family member or friend, a divorce, a major injury or medical diagnosis, a job layoff or even a move to a new home can raise anyone’s depression risk for about a year. But the added challenges of pregnancy, delivery and parenting an infant during that period may push you over the edge, according to Maria Muzik, M.D., an assistant professor at the University of Michigan Health System and an expert in women’s reproductive mental health issues.

Prepare yourself: If possible, avoid making big life changes, such as moving, during pregnancy and the postpartum period, Muzik says. If you can’t, alleviate the physical and emotional strain by using such stress-reduction techniques as meditation, visualization, moderate exercise and prenatal yoga. Get plenty of rest and pay special attention to carving out time to relax and spend time with loved ones. If you’ve experienced a loss, get help coping by asking friends for extra emotional support or by talking with a therapist or grief counselor.

You're a perfectionist.

“Perfectionism is a risk factor for postpartum depression,” says Kim Zittel, Ph.D., M.S.W., an assistant professor in the social work department at Buffalo State College in New York and author of Postpartum Mood Disorders: A Guide for Medical, Mental Health, and Other Support Providers (NASW Press). A perfectionist may have completely unrealistic expectations, picturing herself as the perfect mother, her partner as a model father and their baby as an absolute angel. But when reality hits, Zittel says, she can be thrown off her axis and start blaming herself for the normal  problems that inevitably arise. “Pregnancy and birth can be out-of-control experiences,” Muzik explains. “Having rigid expectations and being a perfectionist may be a risk for a more difficult transition.”

Prepare yourself: First, identify some of your perfectionist expectations about parenting. Then use visualization to give yourself a reality check about them and envision good-enough alternatives. For example, say you plan to deliver your baby naturally. Picture an intervention-filled delivery that is exactly what you don’t want, Zittel suggests. Then, visualize that you and your baby are just fine even though delivery didn’t go quite the way you expected it. “Recognize that you will have to lower your standards and adjust to the baby rather than expect the baby to live up to your standards,” O’Hara says.

You will be making a major job change.

“Role transition can be very stressful,” Muzik says. Whether you’re quitting your job to be a stay-at-home mother, swapping a high-powered career for a lower-status position or choosing to work from home instead of commuting to the office, a big change in your role can cause emotional upheaval or depression. Women who go back to work when they’d rather stay home are also vulnerable to depression, Muzik adds.

Prepare yourself: Spend some time visualizing—and planning for—the  difficulties of the transition, Zittel suggests. For example, if you’re quitting work to stay at home with your baby, acknowledge that there will be days when you will feel lonely because you’ll be stuck in the house with a crying infant. Make connections now with other stay-at-home moms so you can get together for coffee or walks. If you’re downgrading to the slow lane in your career for a while, focus on how this will benefit you and your baby rather than on its potential negative effect on your professional life, Zittel says. Plan to maintain relationships with influential co-workers so you can hop back into the fast lane when your baby is older.
