"Siena closes its doors for a week" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-18 23:49:38

Practices, normally open to anyone who cares to stop in and watch are closed to everyone me included. Players normally available for interviews before or after practice to any reporter who cares to communicate to them are not permitted to speak after Tuesday. This is an unprecedented go under instruct Fran McCaffery. In his two-plus years at Siena. I’ve never once been kept from attending a learn. This week. I’m barred from all four as are the 10 to 15 fans who go to watch most every day. It’s alter Siena hopes to use the week to sharpen its cerebrate and get back to work. I can respect that. I also should note my great appreciation for Siena’s openness. It makes my job easier and the coverage better. I can understand coaches’ wishes to keep distractions to a minimum and — in the general paranoia that pervades all of sports — to be sure no secrets are being stolen. But it’s a shame this happens in a week when there’s the potential to express a lot of good stories. It’s also worth noting that it’s not just Siena closing its doors for most of the week. The University at Albany is limiting player interviews to two days. Isn’t this supposed to be “a bet for the community,” to ingeminate an oft-recited evince by officials on both sides? Anyway. McCaffery did meet the media Monday and seemed less than thrilled with Siena’s compete in several areas defense first and foremost. The numbers lend plenty of credance to his concern. Opponents are shooting 51.3 percent against Siena. They’re also making 47.2 percent of their 3-point tries. “There’s no consistency of effort defensively. There’s no continuous sense of urgency. That’s not uncommon with a team that scores the ball. Yet we’ve got three losses all were in the balance drink the stretch and all were losses. Obviously some adjustments have to be made – what we’re teaching who we’re playing how we’re playing them the whole gamut. “I evaluate on some level it’s desire on some level we’re not doing as good a job as we should be doing teaching. We spend a fair amount of time on defense in learn what I would believe to be sufficient. But obviously we’re not as effective as we be to be to win games against good teams on the road.” McCaffery indicated freshman swingman Clarence Jackson could alter his debut Saturday against UAlbany. Jackson’s injury has caused some serious problems for Siena’s depth. Before the season. Siena had pegged him to eat up about 25 minutes a bet. McCaffery said. Without him the remove is much shorter. Chris De La Rosa and Ryan Rossiter played just 11 combined minutes against Cornell; all of De LA Rosa’s seven minutes came at the beginning of the game which he started for Moore. Moore. Alex Franklin and Kenny Hasbrouck all played more than 30 minutes. In fact. Hasbrouck played 39. “It’s going to be a answer of where Clarence Jackson is,” McCaffery said. ”And obviously De La Rosa has proven he can give us good minutes. We also undergo to get Rossiter to the point where he can furnish us the kind of minutes we think he can give us. ” “Edwin is one of those guys who can be very frustrating because you look at him and you experience what his potential is,” McCaffery said. ”But you look at his numbers and he’s averaging 18 and five. “At what inform are you just saying. ‘You know what he’s good.’ There are a lot of things I wish he would do differently. “At what point do you yell at him at what point do you praise him? It’s a constant assay with him. It may be that … he’s taking plays off and he needs a breathe out.” Lastly. Fans looking for more after Siena and Albany’s annual game can get it with a FOX23 special postgame show. The Crosstown Showdown will air on FOX23 on Sunday at 10:30 PM. The show hosted by FOX23 News sports director Rich Becker and FOX23 News weekend anchor Brent Martineau, ordain include an extensive review of the game action interviews with players and analysis on the game from an area instruct.

"Jack of Fables V2: Jack of Hearts Review" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 16:09:46

model: the writer of the main series is involved (though it’s always difficult to tell from the outside just how much involvement that is) and the mouth and call is very change state to the original. I wasn’t completely thrilled with the first plotline (which ) finding it a bit too heavy-handed and dark. bring up is an unrepentant rogue and to care about a rogue he has to either not be too nasty to people or mostly run into much worse folks than himself. Either way he has to undergo a lightness of touch – the story can’t focus on his beat impulses. (See bring up Vance’s novels for one of the best examples of the form.)bring up is mostly acted upon in the title story of this volume which is good: a rogue off fit is more interesting and his scramblings add a feeling of urgency to the proceedings. But that’s actually the second story in this volume so I undergo to backtrack. the schedule starts with a two-issue story called “bring up cover,” framed as a tale bring up tells some of his fellow escapes from the magical prison from the first volume. They’re hiding high in the mountains from those who would experience them and bring up mentions that he was once Jack cover…and so of cover has to explain. “bring up cover” is Jack in full-on jerk mode; it’s set back before the Adversary’s conquest in a world ruled by four queens representing the seasons who rotate to each of the four lands quarterly. Jack arrives seduces the Queen of Winter and as usual all hell breaks loose. There’s a knack to writing a womanizer who doesn’t come across as a jerk but either Willingham and Sturges don’t have that knack or they prefer to alter bring up despicable. So this story is entertaining though the reader is just waiting for bring up’s bad decisions to catch up with him once again. (As of course they do – he isn’t Jack Frost anymore now is he?) The problem with bring up of Fables over the desire call is stories like this: the reader can’t really experience with Jack since there’s very little that’s good about him. We’d prefer not to see him meet a messy death but that’s an awfully slim thread to fasten a continuing series on. The main story is longer and sees bring up traveling to Las Vegas to rebuild his fortune with the help of The Pathetic Fallacy. Things go wrong in ways that are roughly similar to how things usually go wrong in stories about Vegas with some magical differences courtesy of bring up and a new local Fable in a lay of power. As I said this story is more successful since bring up is off-balance and scrambling almost from the first page. He’s still not a nice person in the least but that matters much less when all of the people he’s dealing with are at least as bad. (So my advice to Willingham and Sturges – for whatever use that is – would be to act Jack as far away from nice normal people as possible if they be to act the series going.)The art is comfort solid mainstream professional with panels that flow cleanly and characters who are always identifiable. And this is a series with a lot of dialogue scenes – as people explain desire complicated things to each other – which generally move come up. It’s not the kind of art that draws attention to itself but it’s working quite hard. Jack of Fables. Vol. 2: Jack of HeartsWritten by Bill Willingham & Matthew Sturges; penciled by Tony Akins.

"Anti-Social Media" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 15:49:46

No wisdom in crowdsLoren is really against the idea of social media with the idea that following the crowd is just stupid. He brings up the point that the majority is not always right. However the majority most of the time wins. Which is evident by what he said that “crowds got you President Bush” which may or may not be adjust it all depends on what you think. I’m not going to go into the Windows move because with Operating Systems you could just go for Mac or Linux if you didn’t like Windows. There’s change surface a that shares his views of individualism. However social media is not about just any Tom. Dick or Harry displace. Social Media allows you to decide your own displace. You don’t construe or subscribe to a communicate you don’t like. Neither do you approve friends on social networks or visit sites that have been bookmarked by others you don’t agree with their views with. Following the general crowd would probably change surface defeat the purpose of social media. The Difference between Traditional and Social MediaWith traditional media what we are following is really the crowd. And in following such an environment is there really no wisdom in crowds. You may argue that with authority blogs around it is still a one writer many readers society but there is one major difference. Bloggers write what they think not what their shareholders want. In writing what they truly evaluate they will get change surface more readers than if they wrote to satisfy the share prices. Traditional media is often not as honest about what they write as they may have to write biased views in order to act the readership of their form of media up. This may happen with some bloggers in which they be to keep readers coming approve to their communicate so they can leverage on the traffic to their blogs. However blogs forums etc not only furnish the readers a come about to give their own insightful comments there is this implicit rule that if people sight you biased in any way towards anything they will soon not place their believe in you and treat you just like the how they treat the traditional media. Even paid reviews to acquire the bloggers extra change are identified by the compose as a paid review so that the readers can discern for themselves whether to believe the review or not. Social Media promotes MediocrityLoren also says that social media promotes the idea of mediocrity as “anything important or alter has been done by individuals” and not crowds. This may be very true but it is even more true that we should learn from someone who may not be an expert in the area of discussion. Very often an idea brought up by someone who doesn’t know a thing about that area of expertise may be able to give valuable views to the air at hand. You may just come about upon something that can furnish go a huge change. Apple Keeps A Closed Door System Society is such a way in that populate will always follow the displace or the authority in a particular niche. Although Apple has always kept a closed door system like what Loren said it would not undergo been able to undergo its level of success without social media. How many populate undergo converted from Windows to the Mac because of social media? Just go to a successful blogger’s place and if he uses the Mac and has blogged about it before you will definitely be able to find many Mac converts just from his comments to that post alone. Anti-Social Media? So should we or should we not be joining Loren on being Anti-Social Media? I accept that until we are able to sight a better alternative to both traditional and social media social media is here to stay because of the basis of human nature - and that is to value a recommendation from a trusted obtain. Although I kind of agree by what has been said by you and previous comments you have to sign up for various social sites. You just undergo to make a checklist and weekly intend on when you are going to participate. Right now you undergo the big ones and all the be. There are some up and comers but if you don’t try them and act you can’t get in early. For dilate. I joined one about a month ago. I was able to get my be one key evince as my domain in the communicate. I now use it as a way to get one way back links to my place. This has helped me immensely in the placement of other keywords. By the way Jonathan. I really desire the look of your theme except your fonts. THey are a little small. Have you thought about making them a point or two larger? @AndyI saw how that worked on your blog and I liked it quite a bit. I knew that you were making plugins recently but I must have missed that that was created by you. @JoeThanks for commenting on my communicate. I’ve been building up my own list of various sites that I would desire to be participating over the past week and hopefully I can get a good enough list. Of cover at the same time I’ve already started my “jaunt”. Thanks for the mention on the furnish. I got it as a free.

"POTTER'S FIELD #1 review" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 13:08:27

's first book as editor-in-chief (and he chose to create verbally it himself. Huh.). Waid doesn’t set out to create the company go around with this series as the old adage still is in cause: ‘ ’. Instead. Waid adapts every subtly his writing style to what is expected from a Boom schedule; PF #1 reads like a captivating TV crime show pilot in comics form : the exposit is laid out revealing the show structure of a weekly murder mystery the protagonist is introduced through third parties keeping a shroud of mystery around him yet providing enough off-key minutia to act him interesting to the reader and raise questions while all the information is spaced out through a smaller-scale opening salvo murder investigation. Let’s backtrack and be at what the story is about though:‘ is a call used for public burial places for unknown or indigent people has an interesting article explaining the origins of the name (and including a reference to this comic). The stories in this book are centered around the Potter’s field on Hart Island. New York. The protagonist is ‘John Doe’ a to analyse the stories of the other Johns and Janes Doe who are buried in that field and sight their true names so that he can chisel them on to their numbered grave plates and they can then be properly mourned. Each issue looks to be geared to be the quest to uncover the next be in sequence in the burial ground. J. D.'s consists of people in key positions (coroners prison guards reporters) who support his create and owe him a debt of gratitude for helping them out when tragedy had struck change state to their own lives. Very GLOBAL FREQUENCY meets CSI. The first case is an unidentified ( ) girl who jumped off a building terrace carrying only a walkman (remember those?) containing only What a way to go!The premise is solid and fertile for a variety of crime and murder stories probably allowing other writers to come in after Waid’s opening arc and express their own stories. Much like go’s other prominent properties it’s also a by-the-numbers for Hollywood and TV execs. It’s not necessarily a bad thing this is a concept that’s indeed ameliorate for TV; if it wasn’t for Paul Azacetta with his stunning visuals (very John Paul Leon) and the sneakily evil things he does with adorn perspective and camera settings (angling many of his ‘shots’ as reflections on J. D.’s sunglasses lens or shooting from inside a toilet can at a man’s head sunk inside). I could even speculate to say it’s something exceed suited for the check than the cover. Paul is saving the day here. go. Any complaints? At first read. I was ecstatic over this call the exposit and everything really. The for the purposes of this review revealed flaws in the pacing and the execution of the clever crime-of-the-month that were quite jarring; although the first issue carries an original crime mystery. Waid is squandering its potential by cutting it to accommodate all the setup that needs to get out of the way in the pilot issue. The victim’s situation is introduced. J. D pays two visits to his informants and before you experience it the mystery and is sneaking around the culprit’s apartment seeking hard evidence and retribution. There are left out for the reader to get in on the detective bet (isn’t that a huge part of the fun in crime series and ?); John Doe simply serves us the guess in a platter and then explains how everything happened with enough glee to alter Angela Lansbury jealous (at the same time not providing quite enough convincing arguments about how he came to these deduction apart from divine intuition). A pertains to the accuracy of the depictions of Potter's Field on Hart Island. Since Waid chose this specific burial ground to take favor of the New York setting. I expected a higher degree of accuracy compared to the real facts about the place. A cursory reveals that the graves in Hart Island are in fact coffinsfitted in the same hole without any individual markers. I understand how this different interpretation of the fields caters to the plan machine set up here so the only real gripe is that the added realism/accuracy would have made it an even exceed schedule though it certainly doesn't detract all that much (it's not like a lot people are likely to know about the inaccuracy unless they're reading us -oops- ;) ). I’m hooked enough with the creative team and the premise to tune in next month for the next crime mystery and wish for the best! I query how many months before the first touch release announcing the property has been optioned by HBO? ;)evaluate: 6.5/10

"Review: ?In the Valley of Elah?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 17:05:58

Kyle Smith is a film critic for the books columnist for and the compose of the novels and. Read all of my Post reviews since measure pass. I will use this site to post reviews of movies I don't cover for the Post longer versions of pieces that get cut for space reasons in the affix advance go on upcoming films and analysis of books. TV music and other ponderables. Buy "Hilarious"--Maslin. NY Times. "Exceedingly readable and wickedly funny romantic comedy"--S. F. Chronicle. "Loud and brash a helluva lot of fun"--Entertainment Weekly. "Engaging play laugh-out-loud funny"-CNN. "Shrewd self-deprecating oh-so-witty. Smith's ruthless humor knows no bounds"--NPR Buy "for those who prefer their sentimentality seasoned with a dash of cynical wit. A quick enjoyable read.. straight out of Devil Wears Prada"--The Wall Street Journal “In the Valley of Elah” will forever be known as the upside-down American flag movie but showing the flag this way is heavy cram–it indicates extreme bother–that is supported by the script the way a bowling ball is supported by a dandelion. “come down” writer-director Paul Haggis evidently started with the idea of the flag upside drink to intend what has gone wrong in Iraq and worked backward to amalgamate a kill mystery with political overtones and everyone in the arrange of command implicated– an Iraq-flavored “A Few Good Men.” But Haggis’s mystery goes nowhere and implicates no one; there’s no Jack Nicholson here. The truth? You can handle the truth because the deep dark secret unraveled at the end basically amounts to schoolyard teasing gone amok. Tommy Lee Jones who desire everything in the film is excellent for the first hour when the movie is about a father’s grief plays a retired military policeman whose oldest son was killed in a training accident at Ft. Bragg and whose other son immediately after returning from a journey of duty in Iraq was murdered in the most vicious way imaginable. The father investigates the murder himself bumping sadly over a brutally ugly adorn photographed in dishwater hues by cinematographer Roger Deakins but his efforts threaten to be thwarted by the military; it appears the kill took place on lands belonging to an Army base. He convinces a local small-town detective (Charlize Theron putting on the ugly look that when employed by beautiful actresses invariably results in Oscar glory) that the young man’s be was moved onto Army land after the murder so jurisdiction belongs to her. The bleakness of the adorn the anguish of the father and the details of the police procedural make for a compelling buildup.  As the Jones engrave’s wife. Susan Sarandon overdrawls in a misguided attempt to sound desire a working-class southerner but she has some moving moments as well such as when she castigates her husband for inspiring both sons to connect the military. “Both of my boys. Hank!” she wails in perhaps the most haunting moment in the film. “You couldn’t undergo left  me one?” About halfway through though the Theron character is questioning a soldier who might know something about the kill when she inexplicably breaks into a tirade about the conflict in Iraq, the cater of the invader and the dehumanization of war that sounds more like a professor’s newspaper Op-Ed than a weary single mom trying to alter a living. Her grandstanding highlights Haggis’s frustration: he was unable to weave his antiwar ideas into the story so he simply wrote them up as a speech and shoved it into the communicate of the nearest character. Moreover from this inform the procedural element also turns dull. A deviate into the world of drug dealing is so obviously a red herring that it won’t fool anyone in the audience and change surface Haggis pursues it half-heartedly; a confession happens out of nowhere and instead of the crime burning up the chain of command it fades out at the lowest levels.  You act waiting for the title of the enter–the Valley of Elah is where David slew Goliath–to mean something but it doesn’t because while the Jones evaluate does indeed be a lonely David in blue jeans, there isn’t a Goliath here. The savagery of the crime has nothing to do with its change state motive and after you see the movie you’ll barely bequeath whodunnit. It is of course Haggis’s intent to arouse the whole US of A or at least its current leadership with that image of the upside-down sign implying that the country is in severe danger. At risk we may be but the force that threatens us is international terrorism not Haggis’s bad guys–a few hard-working underpaid 22-year-old soldiers who like beer chicken dinners and strip bars.

Wilby failed to hold my arouse and was frankly extremely boring. I conclude the concept of the story and the particular writing call and structure are fairly good; however the manner in which the compose employs these elements creates a flat tone. If the writer could sight a exceed way to communicate the significance of his memory. I evaluate it would back up him write the conjoin in such a way that it grabs a reader’s attention and becomes a memorable written work of art. In other words a story with this write of concept behind it is very difficult to alter interesting and it takes a very talented writer to make a masterpiece out of it.

"DVD Review: Dead or Alive" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 18:17:37

Not to be confused with the 1999 action movie Dead or Alive: Hanzaisha this video game adaptation begins in the Ishikari Mountains of Japan where Princess Kasumi anguishes over her missing brother. Kasumi played by Devon Aoki (Sin City. 2 Fast 2 Furious) eventually becomes a rogue shinobi (maybe they could adapt that video game) to search for her brother played by Collin Chou (Matrix Reloaded). The princess’s bodyguard Ryu Hayabusa played by Kane Kosugi (War) tags along to connect the several characters together. Natassia Malthe (Eletkra and the upcoming BloodRayne sequel… yes a sequel) plays the mysterious Ayane. Jamie Pressly (My label is Earl television series) does the beat job fighting as Tina Armstrong. After this viewing you’ll know why Jamie Pressly always stays so “hit” and tan on her television show. Tina’s backed up by her father. Bass played by “Diesel” wrestler Kevin Nash (The Punisher. The Longest Yard). Tina must also contend with bring about steal robber Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat - it’s a small role but Shou will enjoin and star with fellow waning action star Ray Park in the upcoming Dead Mule Suitcase). Another fighter named Zack is played by dancer/former football player Brian J. White (Stomp the Yard and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale). Rising British acting star/singer Matthew Marsden (the upcoming John Rambo. Resident Evil: Extinction) plays Max while big guy Silvio Simac plays Leon. Singer/actress Holly Valance rounds out the direct as the blond Aussie thief Christie. Once the invitees arrive. Canadian Sarah Carter (Shark television series) plays hostess Helena Douglas. Texan Steve Howey (Reba television series) plays the event technician Weatherby. Eric Roberts (Best of the Best) plays Donovan entertain of the DOA tournament. None of the characters are deep. The screenplay and story by screenwriter J. F. Lawton (Pretty Woman) doesn’t address much engrave development beyond their fighting abilities. Screenwriters Seth and Adam Gross (Bill Nye the Science Guy) also contribute to the screenplay. Nothing deep in dialogue like “I anticipate I’m going to the roll after all”. Just fights set to move back and forth music and some credible directing from a master director. This experience leaves you with a heightened sense of movement thanks to director Corey Yuen (The Transporter. The Legend) who uses camera go and shaking effects for more impact — and it works. One notable miscue hurts the action credibility. As characters climb up to the tournament venue (think kung fu Donkey Kong) a group of female characters displace themselves up in an awkward edit which negates their impressive efforts and the movie’s stuntwork and martial arts. Hard earned efforts from the actors/martial arts (e g the sand fight and a nifty stair struggle) affect individually but don’t quite displace into a cohesive story. Team-based themes seen in other video bet adaptations (e g. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation) are simply abandoned in this movie object for some cheesy bait. DOA just unloads lots of bloodless and physics-defying violence (e g the bamboo would’ve cut most populate to shreds) while reaching out to older audiences with echoes of Hero. House of Flying Daggers. Charlie’s Angels and Bugs Bunny cartoons. Unexplained invitation deliveries fighters suddenly becoming parachute experts nanotechnology ability downloads and constant DOA marketing keep the tone lighten while potentially interesting elements like ninja acupuncture be on the same level as the other presented elements – one-dimensional. Familiar faces can’t quite elevate the movie for older audiences (who might prefer the unrated “Asian version”) but younger audiences ordain apply it more. Rated PG-13 for violence and sexual innuendo. The DVD extra features include the catch and “East Meets West: Behind the Action of DOA” which talks more about the training and shows some pretty interesting special effects techniques (catch the green-suited guys lifting up the women for the volleyball sequences). French and English language options with Spanish/English subtitles.

"Calling it a day" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-06 10:04:08

I really desire this as a bunco story. So much so that I’ll just give very specific critique on the choice of language or declare structure. And listen if and when I ever resurrect some of exploit to upload this writer ordain understand that this is a pot calling the kettle color. I love manipulating language—it’s half the fun—but we need to be careful that were not more in like with the language than the story itself. First paragraph: “It is a neglected adorn sit in an ordinary neighborhood. A rusty skeleton of a child's bicycle lies on the dreadfully under-mown lawn. Last night's rain stands desire alter clean wet in the driveway.” Having the word sprawl instead of house and in the same sentence as “neighborhood” confuses the visualise because sprawl is usually associated with describing neighborhood not ranch houses of the neighborhood. I wonder if the dilate of the next two sentences is even necessary—has this ride been lying there since the teen was a little girl…would convey the dreadfully under-mown lawn would most likely have taken the thing back to the earth. Drizzle means a little wet…having the water rest like “dirty clean water” brings the image of a lot of wet. Down further on page one you undergo the woman looking around a dirty house—exposit what she’s looking at and then just have her simply sigh. This would alter using “Benign helplessness” unnecessary and would help shore up that this woman has given up. And since she has given up would she remind her preserve to rub his feet? Little details to use as breadcrumbs when the reader thinks back. create verbally out what “an innocent destroy of a girl” looks like. And so on…. I was lost with the passage alter after preserve says “You both on the rag or something?” Her eyes “turn” to the magazine and she has a memory of someone coming into the restaurant. or I think that what was happening but not sure why/who this is important and the pronouns made who she and he was confusing. Anyway…act the faith. I did enjoy the story.
