Belly of the Beast
Belly of the Beast (2003)

IMDB rating: 4.30

Plot: Ten years ago, Jake Hopper was a CIA agent who was stationed in Thailand. Then one day, things went sour, and his partner, Sunti barely escaped with his life…after accidentally killing a woman. Jake called it quits and returned to the United States when his wife died, and Sunti became a Buddhist monk to atone for his sins. For the past 10 years, Jake has run a successful private security business, and has been raising his daughter Jessica, who is now an adult. While hiking in Thailand, Jessica and her friend Sarah Winthorpe are kidnapped. A group of Islamic fundamentalists known as the Abu Karaf claims responsibility. Sarah is the daughter of United States senator John Winthorpe. For ransom, the Abu Karaf demand the release of 20 prisoners from American custody. The US Secretary of State urges restraint — he won’t negotiate. Tom Collins, an ex-colleague of Jake’s, recognizes Jessica on the ransom tape and tips Jake off. Jake knows that he must rescue the girls himself. An old CIA buddy puts Jake in contact with Leon Washington, an active CIA agent who is working in Thailand. Jake goes to Bangkok, and escapes an assassination attempt. Leon arranges a meeting for himself with with Soku — the internal security chief for General Jantapan. Jantapan is a rebel military general who is making a play to be one of the most powerful men in Thailand. Secretly, Jantapan is messing with some dangerous spiritual forces. Soku provides Jake with a cover story, but the CIA wants Jake out of it — they are planning to take out the Abu Karaf with the aid of the Thai army, and they don’t want a civilian in the middle. Jake is a spiritual man, so he contacts his spiritual master Paijan Paitoon. As Jake is in trouble, Paitoon offers to arrange a divination from the oracle of the order. Jake enlists the help of Sunti. Jake gets Lulu, the girlfriend of arms dealer Fitch McQuoid, to steal information leading to the Abu Karaf. Jake and Sunti follow the leads to a warehouse where they discover evidence of highly sophisticated weaponry. With their enemies now after Lulu, Jake takes Lulu under his wing. Jake shares some of his info with Leon. Can he trust Leon? Another attempt is made on Jake’s life — and this time, Jake is sure that Leon was involved. Finally, the Abu Karaf contact Jake to arrange a meeting — the pieces are coming together, and Jake figures out that it was not the Abu Karaf who kidnapped Jessica and Sarah. Jantapan tries to send the spirit of an ancient warrior demon to kill Jake, but the ceremony goes wrong and the spirit enters Jantapan himself, giving Jantapan amazing physical and spiritual powers. Jake and Sunti go to meet Mongkol, the leader of the Abu Karaf. Mongkol confirms that ever since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Jantapan has worked to corner the narcotics and arms markets. It was Jantapan who kidnapped the girls, blaming the Abu Karaf so the army would wipe out his competition. Mongkol knows where the girls are, and he gives Jake plans and intelligence. They both need the girls alive. Jake must engage in a battle that will put both his physical and spiritual powers to the ultimate test.

What would you think if your fiance put this online?
"I want to go somewhere….walk a bout across Australia, or a maybe climb through the mountains in Central America, or Italy. I mean that’s all there really is in life on earth (Travel, Love). You have your Friends and family, some job they hate (for most LOL), See the world, what’s the point if you stay in one area, o…ne job, and one boring life forever, live for your kids, maybe I’m selfish and want to live for me."

Would you think they weren’t ready to be married and would rather be alone? I wrote a question last night about this but my fiance ever since his mother passed called off the wedding. He always wanted a long engagement. He proposed december, 24th 2008 and he wanted to get married in 2011. His mother wanted us to get married in 2009 and I compromised with 2010. After his mom passed he postponed the wedding and now our date that was set is canceled and I have to wait for him to find himself. It just really hurts me because my dream of marrying him and sharing my life with him got taken away. I feel as though he took it away from me. He doesn’t like to talk about the wedding, and stuff. Whenever I mention it he’s like "we’ll talk about it when we get there". He’s trying to be a pro golfer and he’s almost there he said "when i make the tour we’ll get married". I have no idea how long that is..I just don’t want to be wasting my time. I was there for him beyond belief when his mom died, and never asked for anything from him. It just really hurts me because I use to be excited about it and now I feel as though I’m not allowed to be and I cry about it. I feel like he doesn’t give a shit about it anymore. His mom has been gone about a year now..and he’s still in that angry place. I don’t know what to do or how to deal with it..I got some helpful answers last night anyone else have some good answers? I just want him to pick a date but he is so freedom struck that I just don’t understand why he proposed to me then? What should I do? How can I get him to just relax and pick a date..it’s not that hard! How do i get him to get back excited about talking about it? I mean I’m not even excited anymore because it just hurts to think about it…what do I do?
he’s 32 also and I’m 22. I don’t think his mother would have wanted him to call off the wedding..unless that’s why he was marrying me..


He definitely doesn’t sound ready to settle down. Let him go and be by himself. Perhaps he will find what he is missing. Regardless, if he doesn’t want to get married, don’t push it. If you do talk him into it he’ll probably resent you after the wedding. Sorry.
Katie M | Jan 31, 2010


You are trying too hard. You wrote "I feel as though he took it away from me". Not everything is about you. Maybe he was marrying you to please his mother. Now that she is gone, he has no motivation to do so. You are young; other men will come along. This guy is losing, or have already lost interest in you. I don’t see a wedding with this guy in your future.
Sarah | Jan 31, 2010


You should tell him that your feelings are just as important as his. Tell him that you aren’t going to wait forever. Make sure he knows that you love him and just talk to him. Tell him what you feel. Good luck with everything :) Kate | Jan 31, 2010


Why are you putting up with this BS. if he were into you, then the date would have been set already and you would be living your life as a married couple and not people that are living under the shadow of your guy friends dead mother.

Time to get off the pot and move on.
wildwillyinva | Jan 31, 2010


i think u guys should take a break. he clearly isnt ready to settle down and maybe needs time to get over his mother passing away. i know u tried to be there for him, but hes only hurting you. maybe after he’s had some space, he will realize how much he needs you.
blp | Jan 31, 2010


I lost my Mom in June 2008. I’m still messed up about it. I can understand how he have wanted to change the plans after she passed. Getting married with your Mom only there in spirit is just awful. However, It does not sound like he still wants to get married at all. It doesn’t seem fair to you. Seems like you are torturing yourself. There’s that saying if you love it let it go, if it comes back then the love is meant to be (or something like that). Right now the vibe you’re sending out is a desperate one and that in a twisted way may be stroking his ego, and influence him to keep you holding on even tho me may already know he no longer wants marriage. I can only imagine how hard it is to let go if you really had your heart set on being with him. You are young and need to open up to the possibility that marrying him may not be good for your future. You also don’t want to force him if he doesn’t want it anymore, that will only lead to problems. I wish you well and hope however it works out for you that you can be at peace with it. Take Care
SKCS | Jan 31, 2010


If my fiance wrote that I would ask him to re-examine what he wants in life before he makes a lifetime commitment to me. I wouldn’t want to be married to him a year and then have him say "hey I guess I didn’t want to get married after all", because that would be more devastating than him cancelling the wedding. Just ask him, tell him you don’t have to get married if he doesn’t want to (say this in a nice way). I think he doesn’t want to get married and is doing it because he feels obligated to do so. Do you really want to marry someone who feels being with you is an obligation? You have a life changing decision to make, whatever you decide will affect the rest of you life, think carefully you’re only 22
I mean you aren’t even married yet and he’s already talking about how boring married life and having kids is and wanting to travel and live a fast paced exciting life. Be careful but I get the feeling you might regret marrying him, he doesn’t even want to talk about marriage, this should be an exciting subject for you, you’re engaged and in love (are you in love?) surely you should be happy! But no you’re not. You can’t just get him to "relax and pick a date", its not that easy (he has to want and know beyond all doubt that he truly wants to spend his whole life with you) and you don’t want him accusing you of pressuring him into marriage later, causing you more unhappiness.
Re-examine your reasons for getting married you’re too young to screw your life up.
Mia kay | Jan 31, 2010


You will never regain your youth , men are attracted to the young in a woman , change horses before you loose your youth . this horse is headstrong and very much going to hert you as life unfolds this is only the beginning , To prove this ask him to do something he would never want to do tonight , ( hang a picture over the bed ) for example , if you get hert over this little exersise in any way , you know I’m right . take the saddle off and start looking to see if you can attract a kinder sort . there is no such thing as a perfect relationship . but headstrong will keep you always wishing . and devorce will happen in two years youll be twenty four , and you’ll be unhappy , seems that you are already not happy , what more did you need out of that marriage . thats all that has been offered , and you’ve excepted it , commendable , but give the right horse your exceptance , and pleasure will be magnified . If however he hangs the picture while teasing you about the stupid little thing and when he’s threw you say it’s crooked and he dissagrees with you and gives you a slight smile . snag him, he’s worth it . but don’t get your hopes up , he’ll fail it’s almost in the bank . I hope I’m wrong .
darkcloud | Jan 31, 2010


I think then , my fiance would only care about the pennies he would have known were worth working for. I would like to know if just maybe he could shuffle down the hall with me and enjoy the steel strong friendship long before we get married.That’s whats important anyway .Maybe a trip to Minnesota would help him see how cold he has become!

The Tournament
The Tournament (2009)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins. The last man standing receiving the $10,000,000 cash prize and the title of Worlds No 1, which itself carries the legendary million dollar a bullet price tag.

How many games must be played to determine the tournament winner?
In a basketball tournament, each team plays until it loses a game, then it is out of the tournament. If 64 teams are in the tournament at the start, how many games must be played to determine the tournament winner?


You pair up the teams:

64 teams > 32 games

That eliminates 32 teams. So you have 32 left. Pair them up:

32 teams > 16 games

That eliminates half again. Keep it up:

16 teams > 8 games

8 teams > 4 games

4 teams > 2 games

2 teams > 1 game

After that, you are of course done (one team left).

The total is:

32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 63.

This is actually related to a rule in mathematics:

2^(n-1) + 2^(n-2) + …. + 4 + 2 + 1 = 2^n - 1

But it’s more obvious than that! Just think. How many teams need to be eliminated to have one left? All but one. That requires one game per team to be eliminated.

So to eliminate 63 teams, you need 63 games.

Plot: In this sequel to the Evil Dead films, a discount-store employee (”Name’s Ash. Housewares.”) is time-warped to a medieval castle beset by monstrous forces.

Unfortunately, he screws up the magic words while collecting the tome, and releases an army of skeletons, led by his own Deadite counterpart. What follows is a thrilling, yet tongue-in-cheek battle between Ash’s 20th Century tactics and the minions of darkness.

No offense but this deck is awful, there is wayyyyy too many cards try to limit your deck to 40 cards cause the strategy your using ( and you should probably reorganize your deck and make a diff strategy) will not work as u will dead draw a lot. Too many cards try again

| Jan 29, 2010


This deck is great! Also place a Time Wizard in there. He’s lv.2 and has a good effect. Also the Axe of Despair is a good card if you have a low ATK monster.

His girlfriend, Julie, a lawyer is investigating a developer. She leaves some incriminating documents at Peyton’s. One night Peyton was working when the lights in his lab went out, he then discovers that the synthetic skin has remained stable past 99 minutes, he deduces that it’s because of light that the skin doesn’t remain stable. And it is at that moment that a psychotic criminal, Robert Durant appears demanding the documents that Julie left there. They beat up Peyton, and after finding the documents they blow up Peyton’s lab. Peyton was blown away and everybody believes he is dead but in reality, he was found, burned seriously and a new procedure was performed on him that renders him unable to sense pain, he also now has tremendous strength and is now prone to violent outbursts. He is now working on perfecting the synthetic skin and at the same using his technology to make synthetic skin masks of the men who attacked him so that he could strike back at them.

i have a lot of "books" in my head that i made up myself but idk how to express them in the 8th grade. tips?
i made up a lot of stories. i even have a 7-book series about a bounty hunter stored in my head. i have a lot more too. one is about a man who equips his house with loads of weaponry and defense to hide from the government, with no way in, no way out. i call it "fortress". yeah pretty brief. another is about a group of teens that got stripped of their emotion and basically turned into indestructable robots, with the same appearance as a human. one of them escaped before their emotion was taken away but he’s still indestructable, and towards the middle you realize that escapee was the main character. i named it "Perfect". My last one isn’t action, it’s about people that paint on the walls of an abandoned subway tunnel to ease the stresses of life away. i call it "NY tunnel painters." now my favorite, the bounty hunter series "Bounty", is made of 7 books: Bounty, Bounty: Masked Accomplice, Bounty: The Parallel, Bounty:(TBA), Bounty: Darkman, Bounty: The Steel Army (subject to change) Bounty: Cyanide, Bounty: Death Ray. All about a bounty hunter that actually only hunts in the first book, who lives in las vegas (las vegas gets destroyed in the last one). Cyanide may be a little dissapointing, for the main character sort of turns into a monster type thing when he falls asleep, and doesn’t know it. please give me some feed on this, and tips on how to express it. thanks.

ps sorry it was so long


OOH you’re just like me! I decided it was time to get it all out and started typing it all up in Word my books are a Trilogy
Scales
Shells
and
Bubbles
It is hard to begin them and I have NO idea how they end but I know the main parts and it is easy to embelish upon there.
The only hard part is it is not as perfect as it is in your mind and you have to revise OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! My story now seems a bit dull in my eyes but all my friends love it. I think it is because I have read and reread it in my head and on paper so many times. But TRUST ME! it definatly worth it!! Other wise it naws and naws at you until you HAVE to do something about it.

Jellybean | Sep 08, 2009


Well, as good as a story might be, it’s pointless unless you get it out on paper. You should start jotting down notes, the basics and what you know. Then after that, you just sort things out and begin writing. Don’t think too much about it, or what’s going to happen in ALL the books just yet. Take it one step at a time. Forget the rest of the books until you reach that point, you know? Stop thinking so much into the future of your books if you haven’t even started. Good luck.

Just curious, Are there any men out there that love porn style sex but,?
hate watching it? And if so where are they learning it? It has become pretty clear to me that most men are watching it and there is nothing the wives can do but accept it. I am not against porn, I enjoy watching it with my husband now that I have accepted it as part of who he is. And I am enjoying the benefits of it in the bedroom. But for those wives that want a healthy, active, sex life, the ones that enjoy oral, anal, and any position except missionary, can they find a man who enjoys all that, but hates to watch porn?


i hated it. but then i figured if you cant beat em join em. now we watch it together and i’ve learned alot of things to do in the bed. and fyi no man hates porn!! sometimes you have to grin and bear it.

| Feb 07, 2010


no man hates porn. They might not care but none of them HATE it.
Jim_atthedrive-in | Feb 07, 2010


Well, you’ve already watched enough to have learned all that you need to know at this point. You could probably stop watching it, but I don’t think that he is going to.
Gaining sexual expertise is the one true benefit to men watching porn, as far as the wives are concerned.
Good luck to any woman who wants to have a good sex life with a man that does not like porn. First of all, I don’t think she will be able to find one, and, second, he probably won’t be very good at sex unless he is something of a man wh0re. Face it, for a man to be good in the sack, he has to learn it somewhere.

Basketball rules help, see details for question.?
A referee in a game tonight told me that on a dead ball out of bounds, the player could run 3 ft in either direction. Not after a made basket where the player is allowed to run the baseline but a dead ball, is this correct? Also if it is a dead ball and the player jumps to pass the ball but does not pass it, and then lands without throwing the ball, is this a travel as well?


During dead ball, a player cannot move his feet whether his at the baseline or at the sideline when passing the ball cause he will be called for a travel but during after every basket, he can always move to either direction he chooses when passing the ball but only when his at the baseline.He cannot move his feet also when passing at the sideline.

G0t it? Go0d!!!!

Can there be understandable truth if not all the variables are known ?
<<Q/Given that there are various theories of truth (in Philosophy),
is there often a question mark over the "truthiness" of software ?
Software is often produced in a sequence, the same as movies for example Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV etc.

Is there often a question mark over the "truthiness" of the software ?
(Because there are various theories of truth. Correspondence theory of truth, Coherence theory of truth, Pragmatic theory of truth, Redundancy theory of truth, Semantic theory of truth, Deflationary theories of truth.)
It’s highly desirable that the software in the series be increasingly reliable (and other -ilities as well).
But this may be unlikely.

The developers of release II may have a slightly, or very, different take on "truth" to the developers of release I, or of III, or of IV, etc.

The releases are very likely to be a dog’s breakfast of quality.

They can only be seen as highly experimental releases.

To obtain any vestige of consistent quality, at a minimum
there’d be a need to "re-engineer" the experimental release II so that it contains the desired content of release I plus the added value that the experimental release II is shown to possess.

Then there would be a need to re-engineer experimental release III so that it contains the desired content of the re-engineered release II plus the added value that the experimental release III is shown to possess.

Of course this "should" have been done originally and it is probably spelt out in the original software developer manual that the software should be developed this way. But it’s extremely unlikely that it actually has been developed this way, given that there are various theories of truth.

This is undesirable given that the software may need to be accurate for for example automated flight and landing software.

A/ by Paul /there are no truths, only theories.

A/ by Jonny /I suppose truth doesn’t rely on whats right or wrong but rather what is, has been or will be. The interesting thing is that the truth only serves judgement. Knowing the truth of a system in which all variables are known is just a matter of reading the complete recording, if there is one and if you know the language of the recording. In systems where there is doubt about knowing all the variables truth is incomplete and only serves those whose theories don’t need the whole truth. I don’t think there can be understandable truth if all the variables aren’t known. I don’t know if that’s what you’re after as I might be misinterpreting a few concepts in the software of your question. :)

>>
To Joss,

Thanks. Great info.


Whew. I’d just create a software program that "learns" as more information becomes available. :-p Actually, a computer can learn, my IT professor told me he could easily write one that takes into consideration any new information it is given.

I don’t think there can be any unequivocal truths if all aspects are not known, but there can be theories based on available information that guides us.

[Sorry if this isn't what you meant, because I stopped reading halfway through.]

Joss | Jan 20, 2010


Without description, there can be no truth, therefore truth is subjective.

and That;s that
Dude | Jan 20, 2010


Yes, there is.
Truth is the common denominator to all lies
Idiots Academy | Jan 20, 2010


Already asked and answered lol :) Froggies angel | Jan 21, 2010

What is wrong with Clint Eastwood's voice?
Something about Eastwood’s voice changed, starting I think with "Heartbreak Ridge (1986)". All of a sudden, it became very raspy. Prior to this movie, his voice seemed normal in his earlier films. What gives?
Thanks.


Well; screaming, coughing loudly, and other harsh sounds will slap your vocal cords together and make them bleed and when they heal, they create noids. A lot of those can make your voice raspy. Also, smoking a lot and old age can create the raspy voice. Or surgery; Bonnie Tyler had surgery on her vocal cords so she would sing raspily like Janis Joplin.
