"Incarnate". I'm pretty well sick of R-rated horror films at this point, as it seems like nobody can do one without botching it. This one had an interesting premise, but they kept throwing twist after twist at it until it dropped.

Moana keeps getting bogged down with her own indecision, and Maui is a bit of a blow-hard about his hook.

A good writer should be able to draw empathy for their characters when appropriate, not repel the audience needlessly.

Also saw Moana. Music and animation were good, but the writing was a bit rough in places; past a certain point, it was hard to feel sorry for some of the characters.

Believe me when I say that the Pokemon franchise, as a whole, is pretty scary if you dig too deeply into matters. Some of the actual entries for the mon, particularly the later ones, are nightmare fuel, something that's become a running gag among the fandom.

I've been talking to a few people about this IRL. The main entries in the Pokemon video game universe can all be mapped out to real-world locations, and in fact it appears that in some instances this is what the game designers were going for. Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoehn, and Sinnoh all map out to portions of Japan. Unova roughly maps out to New York State. Kalos maps out to Northern France, with Lumiose City syncing perfectly to Paris and the Lumiose Tower being in the approximate spot of the Eiffel Tower. Alola maps out to the four main Hawaiian islands. Et cetra. Well, what I've been wondering about is this. Utah would be a near-perfect spot for a new Pokemon region. 1. It has all of the main terrain types - plains, mountains, snow, forest, city, salt water, fresh water, desert, badlands, et cetra - right there and naturally-occurring, meaning that there's no need to force the map in order to insert any of them. The developers could even declare that the area around Dugway Proving Grounds and/or the area around the nuclear weapons tests are natural hotbeds for Poison-type critters. The only big issue is that Utah is land-locked, meaning that certain Water-types (like the pokemon that are based on whales and dolphins) would be a tough fit. 2. Utah is a major site for excavating dinosaur fossils, such that there's even an entire park which is literally dinosaur fossils as embedded in the side of a cliff. This is a perfect excuse to have every last fossil-based critter in the franchise thrown in for good measure. 3. Utah's got plenty of natural and man-made landmarks to incorporate into the game design, meaning that there's a lot for the developers to work with. So - what do you think a Pokemon game would be like if it was set in a region corresponding to Utah?

I myself am in a situation in which I attend a different congregation than the one my record is in. Generally speaking, thanks to my job with the newspaper I'm a night owl. I'm awake Monday night into Tuesday morning and Thursday night into Friday morning delivering newspapers. I'm also usually awake Friday night into Saturday morning writing that week's movie reviews. The other nights of the week usually see me up well into the wee hours doing research, writing columns, or working on side projects. Given this, the fact that the ward I'm supposed to be at starts at 9 AM is a big deal since I'm lucky to get up before 9 on a Sunday morning. Instead, the branch I attend starts at 1 PM and has Sunday school first, meaning that it's easier for me to attend and I don't miss sacrament if I do end up being late. I've worked this out with the respective bishoprics and branch presidencies, so everyone understands my situation. As such, I find myself wondering why no such arrangement has been worked out in a case like the one in the OP.

What help does she still need to figure these things out, then? And what decibel rating can the average faculty member on her campus tolerate before they go deaf from people screaming at them?

That... alarms me. I've got a master's degree, and so pumped out a lot of written assignments and reports. As part of it, we were put through the wringer when it came to what was and wasn't legitimate. Did your daughter receive any sort of education in this regards?

1983. I technically count as Y, but I have far more in common with X.

"Fantastic Beasts" The film had an alarming tendency to undercut itself thanks to its cliches and its tendency towards foreshadowing to the point of telegraphing. And yes, I agree with those individuals who have drawn comparisons between Scamander and The Doctor.

A friend of mine is Filipino *and* a restaurant-trained chef. I'll see if I can catch him at some point and ask him, but he's got a new job now and it's keeping him pretty busy.

Shut-In. Yet another 0 / 10.

That's her name. She appears to be of Indian descent.

https://www.gofundme.com/hugh-mungus Rudy Pantoja Jr., better known as internet figure "Hugh Mungus", is out of work due to a hip replacement. This has left him unable to afford repairs to his truck, and he may also be facing eviction. To this end, H3H3 Productions has set up a GoFundMe page in order to help the man pay his bills until he's able to work again. H3H3 also did this as a response to the fact that Zarna Joshi, the woman who publicly and falsely accused him of sexual harassment for what was essentially a "dad joke", is begging money online "for [her] personal safety" despite the fact that her own personal actions were to blame for her fall from grace and the responses she's received.

There have been efforts to, indeed, clean the rolls up, but those are usually met with hysterics about how this is actually an effort to disenfranchise people; if even one person is accidentally disenfranchised, they're immediately made a bloody shirt and regarded as "proof" of how evil the effort was all along.

Doctor Strange. A few younger children were literally crying in the theater because of how intense some of the fight scenes were, but on the whole the film is good.

Clancy himself claims the inspiration for the work was the report of a mutiny aboard a Russian warship in the 1970s, the Storozhevoy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_frigate_Storozhevoy The political officer on board the ship was frustrated with the level of corruption in the Soviet system during the period, and so convinced the enlisted men and several of the junior officers to join him in a mutiny. The plan was to sail the ship as planned during an upcoming fleet maneuver, then divert to park the ship in a symbolic location and broadcast a message for reform. Unfortunately, one of the officers who claimed to support him only did so as a means of avoiding confinement during the mutiny. Once no one was paying attention, he slipped ashore and alerted the authorities.

Seriously - if what happened here in Houston gets brought up as precedent, then the state is hosed. The City of Houston, Texas tried something like this a few years ago, and it blew up in their faces.

Forgot to post it earlier, but... Inferno. It was the only new movie opening at the local theater. As far as seeing it goes, don't. Not because it's got Tom Hanks (which doesn't help its case any), but because it's slow-paced and incredibly boring.

Your average cup of home-brew instant coffee has 10 - 11 times the amount of caffeine as your average cup of chocolate milk or hot chocolate. Your average cup of fast-food coffee has several times the amount of the average cup of home-brew instant. Your average cup of donut-shop or coffee shop coffee has several times the amount of the average cup of fast-food coffee. Your average energy drink has several times the amount of the average coffee shop coffee. And so on.

Thing is, there are people who down large quantities of "energy" drinks and the like. A four-pack of Red Bull is nothing for some people if they intend to do an "all-nighter" or otherwise want something to keep them awake, while 20-somethings commonly consume "party drinks" consisting of energy drinks mixed with vodka. And of course, we've got people who need five or six cups of *coffee shop* coffee to get them going. Really, caffeine addiction is far more common than people realize, such that most people who are addicted probably don't even realize it.

To begin with, let's consider the coffee. http://www.caffeineinformer.com/ I'd suggest looking up the coffee you drink and checking the caffeine content. What's in there *might* just surprise you.

Same goes for me to. Remember - I'm a movie reviewer.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oregon-case-jury-delivers-blow-to-government-in-lands-fight/ar-AAjuxZf?li=BBnbfcL&ocid The jury in the Bundy case from Oregon acquitted them, but their lawyer was assaulted and arrested when he demanded their immediate freedom. So yet another bloody shirt to wave around...
