I got blocked on the problem in the reflection questions for this sprint about testing where we were given an example of test driven development and had to provide the code to make the test work. The required code was in fact a simple sum function but I got stuck on it for quite a long time.
Although I understood the test, I think working backwards like that to create code when I am still so new to it meant that I overcomplicated the solution in my mind and spent alot of time trying to come up with the code and thinking that my intial, simple solution wasnt right. I also got stuck becasue I tried to test the test in the browser and like using console.log, when I am not 100% confident with a problem solving technique then I can use it incorrectly and think that my solution is wrong when in fact I am just testing it wrong.
I eventually asked my peers what they got for their solution to this problem and whether or not they had 'tested' it against the provided test code. Although they had written the same solution as I had they had thought it was so simple that they didnt need to test it and so hadnt got stuck on the task the way I had.
It was helpful however to check this with my peers and get a reality check on how I am often responding with panic to these tests which stops me form realising I know the answer. I felt a little silly asking for help but also relieved that I was on the right track when my peers reassured me.
I solved the last problem in the JS olympics Kata with an elegant solution that was possibly becasue it was an easier challenge than the previous ones! But I still felt happy because all the other problems in that Kata and the couple before that I had had to look at the solutions to understand where I was going wrong first. The last problem in the JS olympics Kata that we were given this sprint involved creating a function that would take aseries of properties and return a new athlete object to add to our existing array of athlete objects from earlier in the Kata.
I first looked at this problem and thought it would be very complicated like I had found most of the previous ones to be but I started by trying to pass each test related to this problem which was a different method than I had been using for the previous problems. Because the tests in this Kata were quite complicated I had been writing my code based on the instructions on the github task page. But for this last problem I decided to look at the tests and try and pass each one individually. This helped to break down the problem into smaller steps than I would instinctively have done which I relasied was very helpful.
Focusing on passing each test for a problem rather than getting the whole problem right in one go helped me to realise that the solution to this problem was actually incredibly simple and in trying to write a sort of pseudocode for it I actually ended up solving it. All the function required was for an object variable to be defined and assigned to a value of all the properties that would be passed into the array.
I was stoked when I passed the test with this solution and it was a breakthrough to realise that my approach of breaking down the problem using the tests, writing pseudocode (and the fact that it was a comparatively simple problem) helped me to solve this easily without having to refer to the solution code. I think this was also a useful reminder that if I feel overwhelmed by a problem I can overcomplicate it but by really stopping to break it down, when I want to jump ahead, will actually save me time in the long run becasue some challenges may be easier than I realise at first glance.
I used pseudocode on almost every problem in the Kata this sprint. I found it helpful for both laying out the steps to figure out a problem in advance and also for explainging why a slution worked especially if I hadnt been able to find the solution on my own and had to refer to the solution provided. I feel like I learnt alot about how to use pseudocode to my advantage in this sprint and will continue to use it as one of my main problem solving techniques.
This is the technique I used to approach all the problems this sprint. I always tried to write some code and run the tests, change the code and run again over and over. I think I naturally take this approach to solving iny problem where I jump staright into trying solutions rather than starting with a plan. If anything I robably need to plan a bit more so that when I try things I don't get stuck in the details.
I liked this method when I learnt about it in the prep curriculum and sprint 1. I think it makes alot of sense. I definitely could utilise this technique more as I really only used it by talking outloud to myself and didn't use it consistently this sprint or last even though I found effective in a similar way to pseudocode as a way of getting clear on the problem. I think although I feel confident using this method it would be helpful to practise it more by writing the problem out or asking someone else to listen to me explain it.
I feel less confident with this technique than the others but I did practise it alot this psrint and can feel myslef gaining more understanding. A few times last sprint I googled the meaning of certain error messages and that helped m,e to uderstand them more. Some of the common ones I got this sprint were syntax related and I feel confident mostly to work out where the problem is there because in the repl.it console at least (I'm not sure if this is the same in the browser tools but I think it is?) the error message tells you where the error is and often what exactly it is e.g. and extra bracket. However, some error messages are quite cryptic so those are the ones I feel less confident about.
Console.logging is probably the technique I used least this sprint although I still tried to use it but didnt really get any help from it. I thibnk I dont fully understand the parameters in which it works so I did a bit ofresearch after I had completed the Kata becasue in reading other people's blogs I realised it was helping people alot. I discovered (which I had somehow not taken in ) that console.log works only on objects and through playng around with it in my completed kata I learnt a bit more about the parameters for its use within a function and how to test that things are working so I will continue to try and build my knowledge of this one.
Love a google! Although I have found it trickier to google javascipt queries compared to html becasue I have less of a grasp on the basics I have googled alot this sprint and it has been really helpful in gaining more understanding of things I had already learnt and also learning new things. Its becoming easier to interpret information about javascript from a google search although I have struggled to find recources that explain things in really simple terms without relying on terminology - this is actually where other students' blogs have come in handy!
I feel comfortable asking my peers for help via slack and in person though in person I am wary of nopt wanting to interrupt people in their work but I will do so if I really need it and people seem happy to help.
I feel comfortable asking coaches for help though I have only done this with Genevieve as I cant remember who the other coaches are! Again, I am aware that they have a lot of students to help and also work different office hours.
I have been pretty consistently using the reflection practices that were suggested to us in the prep material where we set a goal and describe a challenge each day. On top of the compulsory reflections I found this a really useful way to be concious about how I am going, what I am learning (though I could be better at reflecting on specifics to help them stick) and how I am responding to differnt challenges.

OH, GOD! BOOK II (PG)
Directed by Gilbert Cates Running Time: 94 minutes Originally Released: 1980
Reviewed by E. Benjamin Kelsey
* * ½ (out of four)
In 1977, a light hearted comedy about God was released with a not too ambiguous title: OH, GOD! It starred John Denver and George Burns, both of whom are now dead (meaning Burns is just a tad closer to his role than he was over twenty years ago). It spawned two sequels, the first of which followed the original's premise to a great extent - God comes down to Earth to initiate a spokesperson of sorts, all the while causing an uproar over this person's highly unbelievable testimony. Perhaps as a motive to attract a swarm of movie-goers to the film, OH, GOD! BOOK II made the spokesperson into an 11-year-old girl, capable of warming hearts with her innocent smile. Nice touch - if the story couldn't captivate audiences a second time around, maybe an adorable little girl could.
The girl in question is Tracy (played by uniname actress, Louanne), the child of divorced parents still holding grudges toward one another. At a Chinese restaurant on her weekly night out with dad, Tracy makes an innocent passing comment about having faith in God, and before she knows it, her fortune cookies are a bit too personalized. It seems God (played again by George Burns) liked young Tracy's insight, and via the fortune cookies, He instructs her to meet Him in the lounge. It takes a bit of convincing (i.e. doors opening and closing by themselves) to assure Tracy this isn't just a hoax, but when God finally has her full attention, He tells her the reason behind this personal revelation: He wants Tracy to come up with a slogan to remind people that He's still out there. After all, the world definitely could give the Big Guy some overly due recognition. Thus, in a blaze of confused astonishment, Tracy agrees to try and come up with something over the next week (and agrees not to cheat by passing the task on to her advertising agent of a father).
Enlisting the aid of a pre-teen is a smart move, especially when adults seem way too busy and out of touch to really hone in on such an important task. Of course, who's going to turn down a guy who has the ability to shove a lightning bolt up your wazoo? As stated above in simpler terms, the spokesperson (Tracy) will deliver God's message (the slogan "Think God") and cause a big hoopla as people begin deeming him/her crazy (parents, teachers, shrinks, etc.). When Tracy gets all the kids in her school to participate in a "promote God" campaign (more or less), parents and faculty complain. Yes, even in the conservative world of 1980, public school is not to be used as a religious pulpit. Psychologists blame the "hallucinations" on the parent's divorce, the parents question each other, and although it's not shown, I'm sure someone blames it on a bad plate of sushi.
OH, GOD! BOOK II hasn't aged as gracefully as George Burns (not that I've seen him in the last couple of years), but it's still not a bad film by any means. Still suffering from the anguishable 1970's, 1980 isn't all that pleasant to look at, but nonetheless offers an overly sweet tale of a little girl's struggle to do what's right. That's putting it even more impressively than it really is, but at least it's an innocent film that families can enjoy together without a barrage of mindless vulgar comments. Yes, the color brown dominates every frame and the only contrast seems to be dark rouge plastered in thick smudges across Suzanne Pleshette's cheeks, but the story outlasts the horrendous fashions. The legitimate complaint should be about the film's pacing, which is a bit tedious from today's standards. There are way too many stops and starts that seem due more to it's time than to unprofessional film- making. These lulls could easily lead to distraction, but with a bit more effort than today's movies require, you can keep yourself focused.
Next time you head to the video store, you'll likely find tons of choices that far exceed this film. Fair or not, older films, save it be classics (which this clearly is not), just don't have the appeal of an even more lame but fairly recent movie. As awful as it is, you'll probably pick up THE PEST from the new release wall before you decide to mosey over into the "old" movies and pick this one up. True, this isn't so recommendable that I urge you to seek it out, but it is an O.K. alternate when all those new releases are checked out.

Drivers on busy Ayrshire road affected as car hits sheep on A76
A driver is believed to have struck a sheep on the busy A76 and ended up overturning the vehicle, which has caused major tailbacks.
by Lochlin Highet, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/lochlin-highet/An incident on an East Ayrshire road this evening has been causing problems for drivers.
A driver is believed to have struck a sheep on the busy A76 and ended up overturning the vehicle, which has caused major tailbacks.
The incident happened between Kilmarnock and Mauchline and police are on the scene.
One eyewitness said: "Trouble on A76 between Mauchline and Kilmarnock. Dead sheep over road and car over avoid long tailbacks. Avoid, road will be closed. Hope people in the car are okay."
Others are saying there's been a number of dead sheep on the road.
Drivers are urged to avoid the route if possible.

They are the good, the bad and the ugly; the objects of cult, of paparazzi and groceries' check-out counter tabloids, of most glossy magazines; they fill the airwaves; they regularly elbow out substantial news items; etc.
Per se, the "celebrity"-mania may not cause any major harm. But since human life and time are finite, the frills of the excessive documenting of mostly entertainment figures has to be at the expense of more important knowledge and information. A vivid example of this is the Jay Leno show's sadly funny "Jaywalking" segments. (They are edited interviews, of course, and require that the people in them give permission --sign releases -- but is it not horrible that they accept to be idiots in public for the sake of being on TV?
On a more elevated level, too many college students who might be smart, and who almost all know by heart the names, performances and trivia of "celebrities," have lacked the time to learn (even slightly) general culture: history, geography, current events, literature, the arts and so on.
In fairness I must add that it was ever thus. College education is time-consuming; it offers limited opportunities for students to go beyond certain specialties. But then, this state of things has reached exponentially abysmal proportions with the exponential rise of the media. Sadly too, while TV, the most influential of all, can also be also a major boon, an amazing and vivid source of learning, this very positive aspect of the media is far too little exploited. In fact, any polling of persons "being educated" reveals that the small percentage of those who profit from educational/informational television consists overwhelmingly of older persons.
The same tragic situation applies to books, magazines, etc. You name it. And, alas, not only to the United States but to most, if not all, other countries.
Having gotten this off my chest I'll turn to "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." It is a documentary about "celebrity" Tammy Faye Bakker, now Tammy Faye Bakker Messner. Its two directors (who seem to be Brits) are experienced in the genre. They are not impartial. They set out to redeem Tammy--or at the very least to induce in their public second thoughts about Tammy. The film goes overboard. The information that comes with it shows this clearly.
Examples: "Tammy is one of the most adored and reviled women of her time." Do the makers really believe that she was/is a concern of most Americans, not to mention the rest of the planet? They admit to having drawn an " affectionate portrait." But documentaries of this sort should not be partisan and take no sides openly, even though subliminally or indirectly documentaries always have a point of view (That's the old argument about "cinema verite") Tammy is "both surprising and endearing." Says who? "The Bakkers were crucified in the court of public opinion for their supposed greed and corruption." If this is not a partisan opinion, what is? And so on.
Entertaining the film certainly is --and this is what makes me give it 2 1/2 stars. But it also falls between two stools. At first it seems to be akin to the satirical exposes by film-makers such as Michael Moore ("Roger and Me," " The Big One," et al.) But it rapidly evolves into a gentler, kinder portrait of Tammy and her adventures.
"Celebrities" can be, and often are, ridiculous figures. Make your own list. Tammy was and remains a Class A oddity who cannot be taken seriously as she recounts her life from its beginnings to the Odyssey of the Tammy-Jim Bakker duo, its rise and fall, to developments and updates through recent times.
The movie follows her mostly through interviews in which Tammy speaks to the camera. Her interviewers are mostly unseen and unheard but many other "names" do appear and add their favorable, pro-Tammy opinions.
For many members of the movie's audience the main interest will be the light shed on the aspect of Americana known as televangelism. The couple's debut, in the 1960s, was when almost unknown Pat Robertson had them create for his own TV program in his one-station "network" a Jesus-based puppet show. (The puppets are in the film as chapter-announcers). Then the Bakkers invented "The 700 Club," the first Christian talk-show. Jealous of their success Robertson dumped the couple.
Moving to California the couple co-founded TBN, and were betrayed again. Moving on to North Carolina, they founded PTL (Praise the Lord), which became the jewel in their crown and was one of the very first 24-hour satellite networks. Its thriving televangelism business culminated with the creation of the first Christian theme park, the mammoth Heritage USA.
Eventually came financial troubles, irregularities, deficits, money problems. Added to them was Jim Bakker's one-night stand with his employee Jessica Hahn (who later told her side of the story in Playboy). There also came research and exposes by the Charlotte Observer's reporter Charles F. Sheperd. All that spells scandal.
Hard-right televangelist Jerry Falwell now enters the picture. He had his own empire. Apparently he hated PTL because (among the reasons given by Tammy) he was against its all-embracing nature, its acceptance of all denominations, of gays, addicts, and so on. And he had no satellite.
Oddly (on the surface only) when PTL became a sinking Titanic, Falwell offered help, flew in to the rescue (in his private jet), made an offer that the Bakkers could not refuse: he promised money --and to get more funds, he said he would take over PTL for a short time only, to fix things, and so on.
As per Tammy, he cheated. Within a month he declared PTL's bankruptcy, exposed the Bakkers' financial tangles, attacked Jim for his "homosexual audiences" and dishonesty ---and added one more betrayal to the J & T saga. Falwell is the arch-villain of this story. There's no honor among thieves.
Soon after Jim was sentenced to 45 years in prison. The marriage dissolved. Tammy married their friend Roe Messner, the contractor of Heritage USA. Messner was also tried and sentenced to a sojourn in jail.
A tawdry tale, it keeps its steady focus on Tammy, a monument to bad taste in makeup and vestimentary horrors. (At one point, her huge rings reminded me of gladiators' shields.) The camera and microphone show her as freaky but gutsy, pathetic (in both senses), with a meowing baby voice that matches her celebrated (in effect a huge joke to all but Tammy) treatment of her eyes. She speaks of her private troubles in an endless, often lachrymose litany :her betrayal by Jim, her drug addiction, her fight with colon cancer, her formerly alienated children, and much else. We follow her undaunted search for (un-realized or failed) Tammy-starring, outlandish TV shows (such as "Medicine Today with Tammy Faye") ,her singing, her recitations of her doggerel-plus poetry, her "beautification" for cameras, her visits to Oral Roberts University where she warbles ( the radio guy calls her "a fabulous singer" --sic) her determination to pull on heartstrings.
If this movie plays in Europe, where televangelism is still a rarity and a novelty, whether or not understood by non-Americans it is bound to become a mega-curiosity. That's another reason I rated it **1/2 .
Tammy takes herself so very seriously that one might (or not) doubt her faith. There is a notable, disturbing passage when job-seeking Tammy talks about switching to "secular TV." Quote: " I am a very secular person. Christ is only part of me." And from start to finish, with the word "God" kicked around as incessantly as a ball in a soccer game, one can't help thinking of the Commandment:
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. "

Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist - Alfredo
Freddie Gibbs can do no wrong… this is a fact.
Release date: 2020-05-29
[8.6/10]
Teleplasmiste - To Kiss Earth Goodbye
Hauntology music / ambient. Good stuff… FFO Ernest Hood.
Release date: 2020-06-05
[8.6/10]
Vague Imaginaires - L’Île Sous l’Eau
Vibrant ambient / dub techno. Really good.
Release date: 2020-06-10
[8.5/10]
The Soft Pink Truth - Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?
While one could perhaps describe this album as an ambient / electronic release, to be honest I find there to be just too many styles of music packed into these 9 songs such that it’s basically impossible to be pigeonholed into any musical genre. Also you should read this highly entertaining article on n+1.
Release date: 2020-05-01
[8.4/10]
Laura Cannell - The Earth With Her Crowns
Modern classical / chamber music. Fanboying real hard here.
Release date: 2020-06-19
[8.4/10]
Rafael Anton Irisarri - Peripeteia
Ethereal ambient. FFO Gas.
Release date: 2020-05-22
[8.4/10]
Kenny Segal, Serengeti - Ajai
Retro jazz-hop. Kenny Segal is the dude that did the beats on Hiding Places, Billy Wood’s album from last year and an album I enjoy very much. I’ve checked out reviews of Serengeti’s stuff but haven’t really checked him out until now. The rapping is somewhat reminiscent of Milo’s stuff, but the lyrics are more detailed and seems to have a more complete plot going on. Good stuff.
Release date: 2020-04-05
[8.4/10]
Apparat - Soundtracks: Dämonen
Haunting electronica / ambient. It’s got a lot of acoustic instruments on this album and adds to the sometimes dark, sometimes soaring mood shifts very seamlessly.
Release date: 2020-06-12
[8.3/10]
Cucina Povera & Haron - Plafond 6
Cucina Povera’s last album didn’t really impress me all that much, but this one is different. Experimental ambient / electronic music.
Release date: 2020-03-30
[8.2/10]
Wrekmeister Harmonies - We Love To Look At The Carnage
Doom + slowcore… sloomcore?
Release date: 2020-02-21
[8.2/10]
African Head Charge - Churchucal Chant Of The Iyabinghi
Tribal pysch dub music. As good as dub gets.
Release date: 2020-03-06
[8.2/10]
Okkyung Lee - Yeo-Neun
Modern classical. The track The Longest Morning is probably my favorite. Overall the album is quite easy to get into, people who dig small ensemble chamber music would dig this. On top (or sometimes beneath) the chord progressions the cello would occasionally do weird slides across the fingerboard thus creating an unresolved tension in the middle of songs, but the entire album is very melodic and enjoyable.
Release date: 2020-05-08
[8.1/10]
Iszlai - Jazzamped
Jazzy IDM.
Release date: 2020-05-26
[8.0/10]
Mong Tong 夢東 - Mystery 秘神
Psychedelic rock.
Release date: 2020-06-19
I don’t really focus on this kind of stuff lately but this reminds me of a vocal-less Wooden Shjips, the lead guitar playing is almost like what you’d find on a more enjoyable older psych rock mixtape: not a lot of fuzz, just clean playing with tons of delay and wah. The synth doesn’t really remind me of early Taiwanese TV shows, but then I didn’t really get to browse through the channels when I was a kid. Personally I dig the last three tracks more than the first several tracks like Chakra or Jou-Tau, as I wasn’t really that into Indian music and the eerie atmosphere present in these tracks. On the contrary the last two tracks A Nambra and In The K. Court have a pretty strong dub vibe going on. Cool stuff.

Thou - Blessings Of The Highest Order
A compilation of all their Nirvana covers.
Release date: 2020-06-05
[7.9/10]
Dom & Roland - Lost In The Moment
Solid drum & bass album.
Release date: 2017-10-05
[7.8/10]
Warmth - Life
Droning lo-fi ambient.
Release date: 2018-08-10

Psychic Graveyard - A Bluebird Vacation
Noise rock. FFO Metz and Pissed Jeans.
Release date: 2020-05-22
[7.7/10]
Preservation - Eastern Medicine, Western Illness
A hip-hop album dedicated to Hong Kong and its people… Kinda weird listening to these spoken word samples in Mandarin, but the album overall is a pretty enjoyable experience. Preservation previously made tracks for the likes of Ka, Mos Def and Aesop Rock, and this one more or less has that alternative conscious rap vibe going on.
Release date: 2020-05-29
[7.6/10]
Deena Abdelwahed - Dhakar
Jungle + club + dance. I imagine this would be outstanding club music, but then I don’t club…
Release date: 2020-01-17
[7.6/10]
Sean McCann, Matthew Sullivan, Alex Twomey - Saturday Night
Improvisation / ambient / modern classical. I feel like this kind of release would easily venture into unrestricted, devoid-of-melody free-jazz territory, but then this album actually is anything but that. The instrumentation is in face very coherent - there are actually chord progressions going on in this album, and then there would be instruments leading the melody. Overall the entire album provides a very comforting mood, the most intensive part would probably be the drum roll in the beginning of the first track.
Release date: 1977-11-15
[7.6/10]
Military Genius - Deep Web
An album really difficult to categorize… there are jazz, R&B, ambient, indie rock, folk, pulsating techno tracks on this thing. Pretty insane.
Release date: 2012
[7.5/10]
Plone - Puzzlewood
Happy sounding indietronica.
Release date: 2020-04-17
[7.3/10]
Run The Jewels - RTJ4
The lyrics and theme are very fitting to the current turmoil in the US, or to a general disillusionment about the neoliberal world order, but in terms of musicality not much has evolved from RTJ2, which IMO is their best album yet.
Release date: 2020-06-03
[7.2/10]
Backxwash - God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It
Horrorcore. Haunting and bleak.
Release date:
[7.1/10]
White Boy Scream - Bakunawa
Noise / experimental classical from opera singer. The descriptions on Deathbomb’s Bandcamp page says this album deals with the pre-colonial myths in her home country of Philippines. Didn’t catch that to be honest…
Release date: 2020-11-20
[7.0/10]
Aquarian - The Snake That Eats Itself
Dark techno / IDM / ambient. I like the ambient tracks, but the techno tracks… not as much.
Release date: 2020-01-24
[7.0/10]
Golden Retriever, Chuck Johnson - Rain Shadow
Ambient / drone. Golden Retriever is composed of a synth player and a bass clarinetist, and I think it’s probably better if they decided to do an album all on their own instead of incorporating Chuck Johnson’s guitar playing - he adds too much heavily modulated notes into the mix, making the overall smooth and expansive atmosphere prevalent in this album less focused. It’d probably be great if Johnson does a collaboration with Alessandro Cortini though.
Release date: 2020-05-15
[7.0/10]
Xibalba - Años En Infierno
Old school death metal.
Release date: 2020-05-29
[7.0/10]
Noveller - Arrow
Cinematic music / ambient / soundscape.
Release date: 2012-02-14
[7.0/10]
Zaliva-D - Immorality
Jungle / club.
Release date: 2020-06-08
[6.9/10]
Hideto Sasaki, Toshiyuki Sekine Quartet + 1 - Stop Over
Lounge jazz music.
Release date: 2020-08-25
[6.8/10]
Daniel Davies - Signals
This is like a soundtrack to a nonexistent movie: there are ambient, grandiose rock guitars, plucked folk guitar tracks, electronica and even post-rock tracks on this thing. Daniel Davies worked for John Carpenter on many of the soundtracks of his films, but I feel like while this album isn’t lacking unsettling moments, it kind of lacks that bizarre playfulness atmosphere so prevalent in John Carpenter’s movie OSTs.
Release date: 1982-09-09
[6.8/10]
Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes - What Kinda Music
Jazz / R&B. Yussef Dayes is a helluva drummer, but this album is too polished and borderline artificial. The guitar tones sound like what you’d hear on any random trending guitar player’s page on Instagram.
Release date: 2020-04-24
[6.5/10]
Deerhoof - Future Teenage Cave Artists
Glitchy lo-fi indie rock / experimental pop. I guess I might have already grown out of the genre…
Release date: 2020-05-29
[6.5/10]
Cremation - Dissolution Of Balance
Metallic hardcore. I feel like these bands are more or less trying to recreate the Unsilent Death era Nails sound…
Release date:
[6.2/10]
Squarepusher - Be Up A Hello
IDM. It’s ok but not great.
Release date: 2020-01-31
[6.1/10]
Elisabeth Elektra - Mercurial
Electro-pop. The album cover is way more intimidating than the music…
Release date: 2021-05-28
[6.0/10]
Umbra Vitae - Shadow Of Life
Metalcore. Rather mediocre.
Release date: 2020-05-01
[5.8/10]
Elder - Omens
Very proggy stoner rock. Or just prog rock. Some flashy riffs here and there but overall the songs are all pretty bland.
Release date: 2013-06-14
[5.3/10]
Mrs. Piss - Self-Surgery
8 underdeveloped sludge rock / doom-pop (lol) songs in 18 minutes. The slower songs are alright except they’re way too short, and the faster ones have pretty lame big rock drums on them.
Release date: 2020-05-29
[4.2/10]
Car Seat Headrest - Making A Door Less Open
It’s pretty lousy.
Release date: 2020-05-01
[4.0/10]
雨のパレード - Borderless
Sugary sweet J-Pop. I only checked it out for the Dos Monos feature… turns out that was the only track that I could stand. The other songs are just lackluster pop songs. This is a 3.5 solely because the beginning of the Dos Monos feature track is pretty fire.
Release date: 2014-04-02
[3.5/10]
Theseus忒修斯 - 南國再見，南國
Unoriginal. 老婆：「這什麼爛歌…」
Release date: 2020-06-08
個人認為老套到聽不太下去，另外我猜樂團成員應該很喜歡滅火器跟晨曦光廊吧？給個 3 分是因為立意良善，但希望要繼續玩團的話可以多嘗試新的聲音、更奇異的編曲，至於懷舊跟詞彙的堆疊就真的是不要會比較好…
[3.0/10]
Sibylle Baier - Colour Green
Folk. Very minimalistic with respect to instrumentation, and extremely intimate.
Release date: 2006-01-01
[8.6/10]
Ol’ Dirty Bastard - Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
Hardcore hip-hop. Feels like dude was just winging it and not giving a damn when he made this stuff, and then the stuff is still super dope…
Release date: 1995
[8.5/10]
Tara Clerkin - Hello
Soothing lo-fi outsider folk. I like it…
Release date: 2012-01-01
[8.4/10]
Gianluca Iadema - Aphàiresis
Minimal house / techno. Pulsating release… looks like Mille Plateaux is back!
Release date: 2019-09-20
[8.3/10]
Shasta Cults - Shasta Cults
Ambient electronic music. FFO Ulla.
Release date:
[8.3/10]
Cranes - Loved
Found through a post in The Flenser Facebook group. Dazzling alternative rock… gothic dream pop.
Release date: 2020-08-04
[8.3/10]
Sister Grotto - You Don’t Have To Be A House To Be Haunted
Man I really dig this kind of stuff… slowcore with classical instruments. Exquisite stuff. The singer is the lady from Midwife.
Release date:
[8.2/10]
Segue - Pacifica
Psychedelic minimal house.
Release date: 2021-05-24
[8.1/10]
Sprain - Sprain
Slowcore / indie rock. The track Deliver Us is pretty rocking, the others are slow Duster-esque jams.
Release date: 2015-10-23
[8.1/10]
Toshiyuki Miyama and The New Herd & Masahiko Sato - Canto Of Libra
Free jazz. Abrasive stuff… love it. Sounds like Imperial Triumphant’s jazz interludes but stretched and extended into proper songs.
Release date:
[8.1/10]
Angel Bat Dawid - The Oracle
Contemporary afro jazz / spiritual jazz. The artist did all the instruments except for the drums on track Cape Town. I feel like this album is very fitting to the current events happening in the US…
Release date: 2010-01-01
[8.0/10]
The Utopia Strong - The Utopia Strong
Electronic music / ambient. This feels almost krautrock-ish. Lots of synth in this album. 裡面有位叫 Steve Davis 的，打撞球打到六座世界冠軍… 猛

Jay Glass Dubs - Plegnic
Eerie industrial dub.

Sunburned Hand Of The Man - Jaybird
Psyched out lofi-dub. Trippy stuff.
Release date: 2007-04-24
[7.8/10]
Boldy James, The Alchemist - The Price Of Tea In China
I dig The Alchemist’s collab with Freddie Gibbs more. Not to say this is a bad album whatsoever though.
Release date: 2020-02-07
[7.8/10]
Bull Of Apis Bull Of Bronze - Offerings Of Flesh And Gold
Ritualistic black metal. Although this one features some post-rock moments it’s very different from post-black metal style made prevalent by Deafheaven / Alcest / etc, this one is actually grim AF.
Release date:
[7.7/10]
Jay Daniel - Tala
Jazzy house. Kinda like Eric Lau but not as funky.
Release date: 2021-04-21
[7.6/10]
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
Charlie Hunter’s first ever project? His bass playing on this album is super on point. Nice political rap album.
Release date: 1992-01-01
[7.5/10]
Jay Glass Dubs - The Safest Dub
Dub made from Sade samples. Ain’t half bad.
Release date:
[7.5/10]
Aco - Trad
Emotional J-pop. The first half was super dazzling - the first three tracks feature incredibly flashy drums and are fire, but after Teardrop (a Massive Attack cover) it’s just slow rock ballads like those late 90’s early 00’s Japanese pop singers.
Release date: 2001-01-01
[7.4/10]
Interstellar Funk - Caves Of Steel
Electro / techno.
Release date: 2017-06-30
[7.3/10]
Bjarki - Happy Earthday
OK IDM.
Release date: 2019-02-15
[7.0/10]
Mare - Mare
Sludge metal. Kinda like Knut but less mathy and more post-metal-y.
Release date: 2019-03-08
[7.0/10]
Veytra - In Dreamlike States
Blues + prog + stoner + post-rock, all encapsulated in a very modern sounding mix. Not really my jam though…
Release date:
[6.0/10]
Mortality Rate - You Were The Gasoline
Metallic hardcore. Some riffs are pretty thrash-ish and pretty fire, but other than that this isn’t the kind of stuff that redefines a genre or does something completely new. And the metalcore breakdowns and blast beats are pretty meh.
Release date: 2019-05-01

Professional footballer arrested for 'trying to blackmail his manager'
The pro footballer, who cannot be named, attempted to help take thousands of pounds from his manager over a betting account
by Alex SmithA professional football has been arrested for allegedly trying to blackmail his manager.
The 34-year-old player is said to have tried to help take thousands of pounds from his manager by making threats about his wife and children, in relation to a betting account.
The footballer, who cannot be named due to legal reasons, has now been released by the club after he was arrested on suspicion of blackmail.
The player, who denies the allegations, is also accused of telling the people chasing the money the location of the manager on the nights before away games.
He was questioned by detectives and has since been bailed - with two police forces assisting in the investigation.
A spokesperson for the force leading the probe told the Daily Mail: "Detectives investigating an allegation of blackmail arrested a 34-year-old man on suspicion of blackmail. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue."
The new case comes after three men were acquitted of conspiring to blackmail a Premier League footballer - although the two cases are not linked.
The star was caught in bed with a woman, Natalie Wood, who was not his partner, after Nathan Coleman and Prince Rowe burst into his hotel room.
It was alleged the men planned to film the pair to sell the story. But they gave evidence that they just went to see if it really was the footballer in question.
A jury heard the men burst into the room, causing the football player - clad only in underwear - to jump out of a window and escape from a fire escape.
The player, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, received a message from Wood threatening to expose him.
Nathan, 38, brother Tyrone, 34, and Rowe were acquitted of conspiracy to blackmail following a trial. Nathan was also acquitted of three theft charges.
Rowe, 37, of Birmingham, was convicted of two counts of theft, over a tracksuit and £24,000 Rolex watch left by the star.
Wood – who previously admitted blackmail – will be sentenced with Rowe next month.

Table of Contents
Sometimes we need to call a function and make sure that no user or system originated exceptions are being thrown
by it. Uniform exception reporting is also may be convenient. That's the purpose of the Boost.Test's
Execution Monitor.
有时我们需要调用一个函数，并且保证没有用户或系统产生的异常被抛出。
统一的异常报告也可能会很有用。
这就是 Boost.Test 的执行监视器 (Execution Monitor) 的作用。
The Execution Monitor is a lower-level component of the Boost Test Library. It is the base for implementing all
other Boost.Test components, but also can be used standalone to get controlled execution of error-prone functions
with a uniform error notification. The Execution Monitor calls a user-supplied function in a controlled
environment, relieving users from messy error detection.
Execution Monitor 是 Boost Test 库的一个低层次组件。
它是 Boost.Test 其它组件实现的基础，但同样可以单独使用，用统一的错误通知来控制有可能出错的 (error-prone) 函数的执行。
Execution Monitor 在可控的环境下调用用户提供的函数，将用户从繁琐的错误检查中解放出来。
The Execution Monitor usage is demonstrated in the example exec_mon_example . Additional examples are in Part II, “The Program Execution Monitor” or Part IV, “The Unit Test Framework”.

Variables
Variables is a key concept of the UI Designer. They define page, layout, form, and fragment behavior, they are used to fetch external resources, to manipulate and process information, and much more. It is important to understand how to define and use variables in those artifacts, and how the data contained in the variables works when combined with widget properties. Unless otherwise stated, we will use “page” as the generic for page, layout, form, and fragment.
There are several types of variables:
- Static
- String
- JSON
- Dynamic
- JavaScript Expression
- External API
- URL parameter
Evaluation cycle
String and JSON are initialization types. Variables with these types are used at page data model instantiation and their values do not change subsequently.
Expression, external API and URL parameter variables are dynamic. They are evaluated every time something happens on the page, such as when receiving data or on a user interaction. The call of an External API variable is triggered every time the URL of the resource it points at changes.
External API
External API variables are used to fetch data from outside the page. This is typically a REST API. The call to the specified URL is done using an HTTP GET request. The result is stored in the page data model. You can parameterize the URL construction with other data using `` syntax. You can retrieve information using the Bonita REST APIs.
Here are some examples:
- Get the id of the current user - API URL:
../API/system/session/
This variable is evaluated every time the value of userId
changes. Also, if userId
is not yet defined then the call is not triggered.
-
Retrieve the taskId:
API URL:../API/bpm/humanTask/
-
Retrieve a business object associated with a process instance:
API URL:../API/bdm/businessDataReference//
-
Retrieve business data using the reference in the context when building a form:
API URL:../
JavaScript expression
An JavaScript expression variable is a JavaScript function. During the evaluation, the function can use the $data variable, which provides access to the page data model. For example:
var result = $data.expenses * 2;
return result;
An expression often relies on other variables as dependencies. When one of these variables changes, the expression is reevaluated and the previous value is overwritten.
For example, create a login
expression variable: return $data.firstname.toLowercase() + '-' + $data.lastname.toLowercase()
. Its dependencies are the two variables firstname
and lastname
.
Create two input widgets “First name” and “Last name” bound the two variables, and a text widget “Login” to display the result of the expression. When the user fills out the two input fields, the expression is updated. If the login value is manually edited before the user fills out the fields, then its value is overwritten.
Using a variable
A variable is used with a widget. There are many ways to use a variable in widget properties:
- In a property containing text or HTML to be displayed in a widget, you can use the syntax __ in the content to make it dynamic content. For example, you could display the user’s name in a welcome message.
- In the case of user input (for example the Value property of a text input) the variable value is used both to set the initial value and retrieve the user input.
A binding is dynamic, so every time the value of a variable changes, the whole data model is re-evaluated and the UI is updated.
In Bonita forms
One of the goals of the UI Designer is to enable you to build forms for process instantiation and human tasks execution. The contract eases the decoupling between the user views and the process. When a form is submitted for process instantiation or for human task execution, the UI Designer sends data to fulfill the contract.
To ease the definition of the form data to send back to the process, when you create a form from the Bonita Studio, the UI Designer generates the following variables:
- formInput. It is a JSON object. Its structure is defined by the contract inputs and the attributes are initialized with default values. It could be used to set initial values for form fields. You can set the values in formInput either by editing the default values with constants (useful for test and debug) or with values from an object in an external source that has the same model (such as with a BDM external API). You can also set the initial values of a form from some other source without using formInput. However, you will then have to edit formOutput manually.
- formOutput. It is a JavaScript expression returning an object. The object structure matches the contract requirements and it is filled with formInput by default. On Submit, values entered or modified by the user and aggregated in the formOutput object (as defined by the Data sent on click property of the Submit button) are submitted to the process or task to fulfill the contract.
- taskId. It is the id of the current BPM task. You can use it as a BPM API parameter.
- context. It is an External API that provides references to all business variables and documents in the process instance. To retrieve a business variable instance, create an External API variable with value
../

The End is Nigh in Watchmen’s Season Finale Promo
by Blair MarnellOver three decades ago, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ iconic comic book, Watchmen, changed the game for superheroes. HBO’s Watchmen may also be a game changer, because it has crafted its own compelling narrative without simply repeating Moore and Gibbons or the Watchmen movie. Instead, an entirely different story has unfolded around Sister Night a.k.a. Angela Abar. She may be the most important person in the world, because only Angela stands a chance of preventing the Seventh Kalvary from stealing Doctor Manhattan’s powers.
HBO has released the trailer for the season finale of the Watchmen, which features both Doctor Manhattan and his ex, Laurie Blake, as captives of the Kalvary. Additionally, Senator Joe Keene Jr. appears to be ready to receive the stolen powers.
RELATED: Watchmen Episode 8 – What Did You Think?!
There may be at least three wildcards in play. Although he hasn’t appeared in a few episodes, Looking Glass apparently survived the attempt on his life. Adrian Veidt is also overdue to return to Earth, and Lady Trieu has promised that she’s going to save humanity. Now would be a good time to prove it!
Watchmen‘s season finale will hit HBO on Sunday, December 15.
What do you think about the promo for the season finale of Watchmen? Let us know in the comment section below!

1 This is another message that Yahweh gave to me: "Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and say this to him:
2 'You are the king of Judah. You are the ruler, like King David was. You and your officials and your people must listen
3 to what Yahweh says: "Act fairly and justly. Do what is right. Help those who have been robbed. Rescue people from those who oppress them.  Do not mistreat those who have come here from other countries, and do not mistreat orphans and widows. Stop murdering here in Jerusalem.
4 If you obey these commands carefully, there will always be some descendant of King David who will be ruling here in Jerusalem. The king and his officials and other people will ride through the gates of the city in chariots and on horses.
5 But if you refuse to pay attention to these commands, I, Yahweh, solemnly declare, that this palace will become a pile of rubble."'"
6 And this is what Yahweh says about the king's palace:
"I like this palace, like I like the forests in the region of Gilead
and the mountains in Lebanon.

8 People from many nations will walk past the ruins of this city and say to each other, "Why did Yahweh destroy this city that was very great?"
9 And other people will reply, "He did it because his people stopped obeying the agreement that they had made with Yahweh their God. Instead, they worshiped other gods."
10 Yahweh also says, "Do not mourn for King Josiah;
do not cry because he has died.
Instead, mourn for King Jehoahaz, his son,
because he will be captured and taken to another country,
and he will never return to see his own country, Judah, again."
11 Jehoahaz became king after his father, King Josiah, died, but Jehoahaz was captured and taken to Babylonia. And this is what Yahweh says about him: "He also will never return to Judah.
12 He will die in that country where they have taken him as a captive and will never see his own country again."
13 And Yahweh said to me, "Terrible things will happen to King Jehoahaz's brother, King Jehoiakim.
He unjustly forced men to build his palace.
The rooms on the upper level were built by men who were forced unjustly to do that work;
he forced his neighbors to work for nothing;
he did not pay them anything.
14 He said, 'I will force my workers to build a huge beautiful palace
with very large rooms and many windows.
They will cover the walls with fragrant cedar panels
and paint them bright red.'"
15 But it is certainly not having a beautiful cedar palace that causes a king to be great!
Jehoiakim's father, Josiah, also had plenty of things to eat and drink.
But Josiah always did things that are right and just,
and that is why God blessed him.
16 Josiah acted justly and helped poor and needy people,
so things went well for him.
Yahweh says, "That is the way a person should behave who knows me.
17 But Jehoiakim, you are greedy and desire only to obtain things by acting dishonestly.

18 Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim son of King Josiah:
"When he dies, people will not mourn for him.
They will not say to each other, 'It is very sad; we are so sorry!'
The people whom he ruled will not mourn for him, saying,
'We are sad that our king is dead; we are so sorry that the wonderful things that happened while he was king are ended.'
19 When he dies, people will do to his corpse what they do to a dead donkey;
his corpse will be dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
20 You people of Judah, go to the mountains in Lebanon and weep,
shout in the mountains of the Bashan region,
call out in mourning in the mountains of Moab,
because all your friends in those areas have been destroyed.
21 When you were prosperous, I warned you,
but you replied, 'We will not pay attention to what you say.'
You have been acting like that since you were young;
you have never obeyed me.
22 So, now I will punish all your leaders;
it will be as though they have been blown away by the wind.
They will be captured by your enemies and taken to another country.
When that happens, you will truly be ashamed and disgraced
because of all the wicked things that you have done.
23 Now, your king enjoys living in the cedar rooms in his palace,
but soon he will be punished,
and then he will groan
like a woman who is giving birth to a baby."
24 Yahweh says this: "Jehoiachin son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, as surely as I am alive, I will punish you.   Neither of you were born there, but you will both die there.
27 You will never return to this land that you will very much desire to return to."
28 Someone said, "Jehoiachin will be like a broken pot
that is despised and which no one wants.
He and his children will be exiled to a foreign land.
29 I want the people in this land to listen carefully to this message from Yahweh.
30 This is what Yahweh says:
"In the record about the kings of Judah, write down that it will be as though this man Jehoiachin had no children,
and that he has not been successful during his life,
because none of his children will ever become king
to rule over the people of Judah."


The Atlantic Current: Mapping the Virgins of Guadalupe and Remedios
Guadalupe, Cáceres, Extremadura
Verified
The legend of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Extremadura begins in the early Christian era. She is said to have been sculpted by St. Luke and owned by Pope Gregory I. She was hidden in a cave during the Muslim invasion and only rediscovered in the 15th century. A faithful shepherd named Gil Cordero uncovered the image.
Many Conquistadors such as Hernan Cortes came from Extremadura, and thus brought their devotion to this older Virgin of Guadalupe to the New World.
From head to base, the Extremaduran virgin stands about twenty-three inches tall. A rare glimpse underneath her vestments reveals she a dress and veil, carved and polychromed. Sculpted out of cedar, this Romanesque black virgin sits in the traditional “Throne of Wisdom” position with the Christ-child facing frontally on her lap. The Virgin of Child are depicted in a double enthronement. She is mature, regal, and powerful. The Christ-child conveys similar majesty, depicted as a miniature adult. Since at least 1389, the Virgin’s sculptural form has been obscured by sumptuous robes. The gift of these robes was seen as an important donation, and the Extremaduran Virgin acquired an extensive collection of robes.

Bit masking refers to accessing specific bits in a data and modifying them according to our needs. Bit operations are a way to implement masking.
Bitwise Operators available in C are: AND (&
), OR (|
), XOR (^
) and NOT
(~
). There are also bit shift operators viz. Bit left shift (<<
)
and Bit right shift (>>
) operators.
Bitwise operators are the ones that are defined on 2 bits and hold for large binary number through bit-by-bit binary operations and defined on 2 bits.
&
)Works like regular logical AND(A.B). So, for PORTA = 0b01101111 = 0x6f
and PORTB = 0b10011001 = 0x99
,
PORTA & PORTB = 01101111 & 10011001 = 00001001 = 0x09.
OR(|
), XOR(^
), NOT(~
) work in the same way. They are same as their
logical functions for 2 bit operations, and for larger numbers(many
bits) they are executed bit by bit using binary model for each bit
pair(as shown in bitwise AND example).
As the name suggests these operation are used to shift the position of a
bit by some particular places. If you use <<
then the bits are
shifted to the left, and if you use >>
then the bits are shifted
to the right and the bits are shifted by the number of places return
besides these symbols.
This shifts left operand value to left by number of bits specified in the right operand. In other words, Binary left shift moves bits to a specified number of places to the left. The least significant bit is appended with 0 and most significant bit is dropped. The value of the variable gets multiplied by 2 for every left shift that occurs.
If PORTA=01101111
,
Then PORTA << 3 = 01111000;
This shifts left operand value to right by number of bits specified by the right operand. The most significant bit is appended with 0 and least significant bit is dropped.The value of the variable gets divided by 2 for every right shift that occurs.
PORTA >> 2 = 00011011;
Bit Operations are used very often, wherever the logical operations are required.
Bit Shifting is very useful in setting only specific bits of registers without worrying about everything else on the register.
If you wanted to turn on the lowest bit on PORTA, then you can simply write a 1 to PORTA because a 1, in 8 bit binary, is really 00000001.
PORT A = 1;
However, if you wanted to turn on the second lowest bit on PORTA, then an easy way to do it is with a bit shift:
PORTA = (0b00000001<<1);
Example:
PORTA = 10001001;
Means the same as
PORTA= (1<<7) | (1<<4)| (1<<0)
Bits in registers are given names. We will discuss TCCR1B later here, but for the time being assume that a register has a bit named CS10. The usefulness comes out of the fact that you can set the CS10 bit High just by executing:
TCCR1B = (1<<CS10);
That is, “CS10” acts as its numeric location on the register! Bit Masking is used to carry out operations on only specific bits from a number of many bits.
Instead of TCCR1B = 1<<CS10 | 1<<CS11
,
It is better to write: TCCR1B |= 1<<CS10 | 1<<CS11
.
It lets the other bits stay as they are(OR with 0) and only sets the
selected bits high(from low).

My friends design, serve, and host a multutude of sites; so I provide them scripts to massively search and patch security issues that appear on every update of their CMS systems. Obviously the management of security on a VPS is easier to accomplish using snort, firewall and having root access, but in a Apache Shared Hosting Server pentests, hardcode and advanced .htaccess rules are necessary to slighty guarantee the owning and the proper function of a WP site.
Internet over 5 GHZ Point to Point Link.
Routing and Transparent Proxy.
An 8 miles point to point internet link with a couple of Loco2, one on a grid aiming to the other with a omni airmax. Of course we care about security and privacy so this link is proxied over Tor.

A very good friend of mine started a Wifi Business a couple of years ago, so he needed help to automate the making of vouchers and service quotation for his customers. I was able to assist.


FERRAN PONS Game Developer
Senior Technician in Computer Applications Development with almost 12 years of experience as a programmer. My experience covers a lot of different kind of applications, from web app development to the desktop, mobile apps and video-games. But from all of this, my true passion is game development. My experience in this field falls on different scopes. I've worked two years at Electronic Arts, I've participated in some blockbuster games such as Burnout Paradise, DeadSpace and the Skate franchise. Also I've tried to start up my own indie video-game studio, labeled Retrowax Games with which I've made a game called Zombusters that it's published for the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone and PC.


BANDITS -------
Impulsive man of action Joe Blake (Bruce Willis) and brainy hypochondriac buddy Terry Collins (Billy Bob Thornton) are escaped convicts who cook up a unique bank robbing scheme in their pursuit of a Mexican retirement - they take bank managers hostage in their homes, stay the night, and rob the bank first thing in the a.m., before the bank opens for business. After Terry is hit by bored, somewhat crazed housewife Kate (Cate Blanchett), he has her drive him to their hideout, and refusing to go home, she stays making the duo a trio of "Bandits."
Directing from a script by Harley Peyton ("Keys to Tulsa," TV's "Twin Peaks"), veteran director Barry Levinson ("Diner") delivers a road movie that's part "Robin Hood" and part "Jules et Jim." This gentle comedy slowly builds to a pleasing payoff.
Bookended by narration from Darren Head (Bobby Slayton, "Get Shorty"), the host of the fictitious 'Criminals at Large' TV show, we see the late Terry and Joe in their final bank standoff arguing about which one of them allowed Kate to get them into this predicament. Flashback to their humorous prison breakout, where Terry and Joe's opposite qualities are immediately established.
Joe recruits his cousin Harvey (Troy Garity, "Steal This Movie"), a none too bright wannabe Hollywood stuntman, as their getaway driver and 'The Sleepover Bandits' are born, quickly becoming folk heroes and a media sensation. The guys are able to avoid capture by donning hilarious disguises for their overnight heists. When Kate enters the picture, coming from a deadend marriage, she sees the romance of their escapades. She also falls first for Joe, then Terry, deciding that together, they make the perfect man.
The threesome are also the perfect costars. Willis spins an affectionate sendup of the action roles that made him a megastar, and looks cool while doing so with his becomingly scruffy ponytail. Thornton is all ticks and twitches and physical comedy, as neurotic as Woody Allen, but quieter and more laid back. His performance is the most mannered of the three. Blanchett, stunningly flame haired here, is all wide eyed enthusiasm with a flair for the dramatic displayed as she lip synchs to Bonnie Tyler and Tanita Tikaram. She joins Cameron Diaz ("My Best Friend's Wedding") and Candice Bergen ("Starting Over") in the hilariously awful screen singing club with her rendition of "Walk on By."
Also strong are Garity as the dopey but true blue driver. His practicing of special effects and stunt work provide some of the film's best visual jokes. In a small role as the gang's last sleepover victim, Peggy Miley ("A Little Princess") is a small, stout, senior firecracker of a bank manager. Willis' daughters Scout and Tallulah Belle are featured as the children of the first hostage.
Peyton's script is full of amusing dialogue and situations. When Terry and Kate are forced to take the last room at a hotel called the Pink Flamingo, which is overrun with a Mary Kay-like cosmetics convention, it at first seems like a one-off Elvis impersonator joke, but Peyton inventively takes it one step further. Production design (Victor Kempster, "Natural Born Killers") and cinematography (Dante Spinotti, "L.A. Confidential") take full advantage of the charming small towns of the Northwest coastal region. Levinson's direction keeps everything just right at left of center, although the film could have flown higher with some tightening, particularly in its early meanderings. The film features a terrific soundtrack ranging from U2's "Beautiful Day" to "Wildfire."
"Bandits" takes a while to find its groove, but once it does it'll steal its way into your heart.
