![]() Maggie Q, meanwhile, shows off a killer smile and her toned body in the movie's best action scene. Refusing to totally yield to campy outrageousness, though, Fogler delivers an actual performance, a tack that, combined with his stage work and forthcoming filmography, indicates a vested interest in character that will serve him better in the future than here. Even Walken, typically a hoot, if even in discrete fashion, can't save this affair all things considered, he plays his part fairly straight, and in one scene, he's very clearly reading from cue cards. Still, it's not the low-energy treatment that dooms the film, but rather the fact that so many rejoinders and comedic opportunities are left unexplored on the table. Daytona seems strangely detached from Feng, the man putatively responsible for his father's death in short, the personal element doesn't play. But while the screenplay offers up a solid enough structure, it also ignores its own set-up. It's pleasing, on one hand, that Balls of Fury doesn't trade solely on low-grade slapstick (though there is some of that here). Of the film's few moments of diversionary amusement (an abortive escape attempt in which Daytona discovers bars on his window, co-star Diedrich Bader's explication of indentured sexual servitude), very few play out with any strength or comedic conviction. He and co-scripter Lennon have collaborated on a number of screenplays, including last holiday season's extremely lucrative Night at the Museum, but the comedy here feels barely sketched out beyond the setting of scenes. Once Daytona gets entry, he discovers Feng's tournament is actually a duel to the death, causing even more complications and consternation.ĭespite its out-there premise, director Garant, a writer-actor who made his feature directorial debut with Reno 911!: Miami earlier this year, delivers an air-quote comedy of awkwardness and an ambling, altogether casual story of familial vengeance masquerading as something wilder. To get back into competitive shape and gain admittance to the contest, Daytona and Rodriguez turn to ping-pong sage and restaurateur Wong (James Hong), and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece Maggie (Maggie Q), both of whom also have their own dark history with Feng. He enlists Daytona to help smoke out his father's killer - a reclusive villain named Feng (Walken) who every several years, for his own amusement, sanctions an underground ping-pong tournament comprised of the best players in the world. Nearly two decades later, a grown-up Randy (2005 Tony Award winner Dan Fogler) is retired from competition and performing parlour tricks at a casino buffet stage show when FBI agent Ernie Rodriguez (George Lopez) comes calling. After he suffers a crushing loss in the finals to trash-talking German master Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon), Randy's father is killed, apparently to settle a wager which he can't make good on. ![]() The film opens with a preamble which details the back story of 12-year-old ping-pong prodigy Randy Daytona, who's competing in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Devoted fans of co-star Christopher Walken may turn out during the first week, hoping to catch another inspired, zonked-out performance from the famously eccentric star, but even his turn here feels listless, like he's going through the motions.ĭeadly word-of-mouth within the film's target demographic will abet a quick theatrical death in the US, and likely abroad as well the DVD market will be much kinder to this release, since it still has a suitably outlandish visual pitch. But Balls of Fury, in addition to lacking the star power of those films, delivers nowhere near as many laughs. ![]() Obvious benchmarks, both in the movie's conception and its marketing, are fellow marginalized sports comedies Dodgeball and Blades of Glory. 90mins.Ī rather shockingly enervated treatment of a colourful, wilfully silly concept, Balls of Fury looks to disappoint both those expecting the bawdy underdog tale of a make-good loser and those seeking something a bit more offbeat from its creators, the creative team behind the small screen cable series Reno 911. ![]()

The accuracy of the claims is secondary in some sense-the first and most important step is actually coalescing your beliefs into things that are even candidates for truth, i.e. Prediction marketsĪn easy way to try to falsify your beliefs is to make small friendly bets or public predictions. Therefore, even if I did give you a list of habits of independent thinkers (or anything else for that matter), habitually looking for ways to disprove your current beliefs would be an indication of independent thinking. I say this because independent thinking implies independence from everything except truth.Īnd if you are indeed using truth as your guide, then you must 1) demand that your beliefs be falsifiable and 2) actually try to falsify them. (Don’t fret though, truly independent thinking is difficult, rare, and learnable, so there may be other reasons to think you’re thinking independently, or at least could learn). You’re were planning to look over a list of traits while thinking “ah, there I am”, well, let’s say that’s strike one against independent thinking. Knowing that our subjective impression of this is basically worthless, how can we discover if we’re actually thinking independently? Falsification vs. They’re all vague and somewhat flattering, but the above stands out in particular because so many people’s identities are built up on the virtue of truth-seeking-which seems to necessarily imply independent thinking.īut if essentially all of us believe we’re independent thinkers (and the phrase actually means something) then there must be zero correlation between believing you’re an independent thinker, and actually being one. ![]() ![]() It’s one of Forer’s statements that almost everyone agrees with about themselves. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others’ statements without satisfactory proof. ![]() ![]() ![]() Expeditions were planned to the mainland, but for the first winter, all the efforts were in providing services to those living on the scattered islands of Dare County. By December, the bridge to the mainland was barricaded to discourage further immigration in order to conserve resources. Refugees from as far away as Virginia Beach and Wilmington began to come onto the islands to ride out the crisis away from the big cities. A run on the grocery stores (most particularly Food-a Rama) had begun even before any official state of emergency could be announced (difficult to pronounce to the population due to lack of radio and TV). It became apparent within days that no deliveries of goods by truck or by sea would be coming in any time soon. The islands of Dare County, or the "Outer Banks" would make it through the crisis as they had many of the hurricanes in the last century or so of their existence. By late afternoon on September 27, 1983, all the mayors and city managers from all over the islands had made their way to Manteo on Roanoke Island. With power out all throughout the islands, and few vehicles being able to operate to leave, the local villages came together under the authority of Dare County, North Carolina to form an emergency government to assist the survivors of what had to be a bad situation due to the final reports coming before the black out. By the time the lighthouse at Cape Hatteras went out, everyone knew that America was in deep trouble. Hundreds of planes however, were reported having crashed due to electrical failure after the main EMP over mid-America. Traffic Comptrollers from Raleigh and Charlotte, among others, had rerouted incoming jets to safer airports while getting as many out as they could in the short window available. Last minute messages from the center of the state made it clear that the capital city of Raleigh had been targeted. The state of North aCarolina was literally cut down the middle by Soviet warheads over cities of industrial, military and political significance. On September 25, 1983, a quiet Sunday evening was shattered all over North America. The former State of North Carolina had adopted the motto: "First In Flight." Orville and Wilbur Wright of Ohio flew the first motorized heavier than air vehicle in the long island called "Kill Devil Hills" near the town of Kitty Hawk. At any rate, the prevailing winds on the islands provided an excellent test site for the vehicle that would one day "sail" safely far above the waves - the airplane. American vice president Aaron Burr is said to have lost his daughter, wife to the South Carolina governor of the time, to a ship wreck off those shores. This was perhaps due to the inhospitable shores which the offshore reefs presented. The area saw very little significant history in the following four hundred years. 115 colonists, including White's grand-daughter, had disappeared. ![]() When he returned, the colony had been abandoned with no evidence of violence. One colonist, the daughter of the colony's governor John White, was pregnant and gave birth to a little girl by the name of Virginia Dare, the first English citizen born on American soil.Īfter a settler was killed by unfriendly natives, and due to an earlier rough treatment to such natives by the colony's first leader, John White was sent back to England for help to deal with the natives on the mainland. ![]() In 1584, having heard of the success of the Spanish in the Americas, Queen Elizabeth of the Kingdom of Britain had granted Sir Walter Raleigh the right to colonize the land in order to have a base from which to raid the Spanish treasure ships. These tribes were known as village dwellers, building towns that would remain until the crops failed or the game fled from over-hunting. Two of these were the Roanoke and the Croatoan tribes. The counties at the northern end near the Roanoke River were originally home to many tribes of the Carolina Algonquian peoples. The land of the barrier islands was sparsely populated before the coming of English settlers in the late sixteenth century. ![]() ![]() The last find command works also on Linux of course. ![]() type f -exec grep grepand_grep /dev/null \ Īs you can see the last command returns the same output as the grep -r command. If I do this, for example, it doesnt work: grep -ir 'string'. But that command searches inside all kinds of files, including binary files (pictures, audio, video, etc.) which results in a very slow search process. Any system administrator will say use the find command as follows: $ find. When I want to perform a recursive grep search in the current directory, I usually do: grep -ir 'string'.

I didn’t want to talk to my family and I didn’t reach out to friends. I ran away from my feelings and emotions. When my sadness and loneliness started to get worse, I did what I usually do. Until then, I will take things one day at a time and do my best because at the end of the day, that’s all I can do. I’m still torn on whether or not I should go to AA meetings but I guess I’ll wait and see what my therapist recommends. ![]() As far as my sobriety, it’s still a work in progress. I’m currently in the process of finding the right medication to treat my anxiety and I’m getting a therapist in a few weeks. It’s been helpful to be around people who experience the same the same thoughts, anxieties and illnesses (bipolar, depression) as me. I recently completed a ten-week NAMI Peer-to-Peer recovery and education program. But I keep going because no matter what storm I’m going through, it too shall pass. Sometimes I want to give up on everything. My mind is a constant battleground and my thoughts are always at war. That’s when I’m reminded that misery loves company. It’s so tempting to stay in bed and do nothing all day long. I still pray and talk to Him every day.Īt times getting out of bed and leaving my apartment can be the biggest challenge. How can He be enough when He isn’t physical? How can He be enough when I constantly feel alone? But even with my faith being tested more than ever, I still continue to give Him my all. ![]() I do my best to keep my faith but in those moments, it feels like God isn’t enough. In my moments of despair and loneliness, my mindset shifts to negative thoughts and wanting to give up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for not having to worry about my bank account and spending money makes me feel good but my 50-inch TV doesn’t keep me warm at night and it won’t be with me when I die. Call me crazy but money doesn’t make me happy. I just got my first apartment and a few months ago I woke up to five figures in my bank account. Even when I invite two of my friends to hang out with me I still end up alone. When I was by myself on the strip all I could do was laugh. That moment was a microcosm of everything I had experienced the past few months. I was slightly annoyed but I got over it pretty quickly. I didn’t want any part of that so I told them to go ahead. Towards the end of the night, my friends went back to the hotel to spend some time with a couple of escorts. Although I was grateful to go to Vegas for the first time in two years, I still ended up alone. That trip ended up being a complete waste of my time and money. I told them I would pay for gas and the hotel. My inspiration said, ‘The top isn’t lonely if you bring your friends with you.’ I wanted to go to Vegas so I decided to invite two of my friends. I didn’t want to go back to old habits but it was the only thing allowing me to get by. I was going to continue smoking weed and drinking when things became too overwhelming. I didn’t care about being sober once I lost my sobriety at 13 months. ![]() When my anxiety became overwhelming, I started to self-medicate. I tried to delay the inevitable for as long as I could. Regardless of what my mom told me, it felt like a step back.Īdmitting I needed help wasn’t easy. I was never one to let the stigma affect me but once I came to the conclusion that it was best for me to go back on medication and seek a therapist, it hit me. I should know because I experienced this first hand. The stigma attached to mental illness is very real and it causes many people to suffer in silence. Depression affects nearly 16 million Americans every year. ![]() ![]() International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) are a way of identifying bank accounts internationally.

His main job then was supervising mobile vendors, a.k.a. ”ĭrazen started out driving a Good Humor truck in Philadelphia before going into management with Jack & Jill in 1974. “Man, what a genius,” says Tyler Malek, the ice cream fabulist who co-owns Portland’s Salt and Straw, which offers Malek’s own take on the Choco Taco - the “Chocolate Tacolate” - at its soft-serve spin-off Wiz Bang Bar. Drazen’s email signature heralds this accomplishment: “Inventor of the Choco Taco - The Original Ice Cream Taco - Over One Billion Sold,” it reads. What began as an ice-cream-truck-only treat from the family-owned Philadelphia company Jack & Jill is now owned by Unilever and enjoyed by tens of millions of Americans each year. But it was along the border, where a mighty river separates two interdependent yet often hostile lands: Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Because yes, way back in 1983, Alan Drazen really did invent the Choco Taco. That’s how I got the idea.” This is the story the inventor of the Choco Taco tells when people beg him to embellish. An ice cream taco, rising out of the distance. “I was on an expedition in Mexico and got separated from my party,” Drazen says. Another tall tale comes from Alan Drazen, who claims he saw the Choco Taco in a vision. “They were willing to eat it in frozen dessert form.”īut where exactly did the Choco Taco come from? In 2012, Paul Constant of Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger traced the Choco Taco’s origin back to country singer Marty Robbins’ “cover of the 1924 obscure folk song ‘Choco in My Taco.’” This was a lie (or rather, satire). “Here is proof that Americans loved tacos so much,” says Taco USA author and “Ask a Mexican” columnist Gustavo Arellano. “Here is proof that Americans loved tacos so much - they were willing to eat it in frozen dessert form.” Congressional staffers have been known to revise the Choco Taco Wikipedia, including the anachronistic fiction that former Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (who died in 1961) once described them as “like Texas, but in ice cream form.” Employees at the United States Bureau of Land Management demanded Choco Tacos as part of their Burning Man provisions. Restaurant pastry chefs and boutique scoop shop owners regularly pay homage. I had to buy a box and feed him some.”įor just about everyone other than the French inventor of the Cronut, the Choco Taco is the stuff of nostalgic summer sweet tooth obsession - the most beloved and innovative of all the American ice cream “novelties.” Its acolytes are legion. “Dominique, he’s obviously a French dude,” Stupak says. Who wouldn’t want the pastry chef best known for mashing croissants and donuts into one delicious portmanteau to riff on Choco Tacos, especially since Stupak is a former pastry chef himself? There was only one small problem. “Since I was a kid I’ve always been a fan of them.” So when Dominique Ansel approached Stupak in the spring about a limited-edition dessert collaboration, the idea seemed almost inevitable. Could it be, then, that the first taco Stupak ever had outside the home - and certainly the first taco he ever bought from a truck - was made of “light” ice cream, fake chocolate, chopped peanuts, and a sugar cone “shell”? Which is to say… a Choco Taco? But growing up in Leominster, Massachusetts, there was no Mexican food in Stupak’s life (“Old El Paso taco night” aside). When we originally addressed the rumor, we labeled it "False," in part, because we didn't want to believe that it was true.Empellon chef Alex Stupak owns four New York City restaurants devoted to tacos. ![]() ![]() When this rumor first started circulating, Klondike had yet to make any statements about the discontinuation of the Choco Taco. We know this may be very disappointing, but we hope you'll try one of our other great products, including Klondike Cones, Shakes, Sandwiches, and of course, our signature Bar available nationwide. A necessary but unfortunate part of this process is that we sometimes must discontinue products, even a beloved item like Choco Taco. Over the past 2 years, we have experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio and have had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide.
