Los Angeles Convention Center debuts its new in-water location at Burton W. Chace Park in Marina Del Rey Harbor February 7-10, 2013. Larger than ever, the West Coast’s premier boat event will showcase hundreds of boats, from entry-level family cruisers to million dollar yachts, plus thousands of the newest marine accessories and gear, daily educational seminars and fun for boaters of all ages.

GalaTView was in the first day of this event and you will have a variety of show seminars presented by Discover Boating, for both power boaters and sailors — including on-the-water training and learning activities. Personally, I learned Kayak and surfing and both are sports that you can practice all together with your family.   These ones were very enjoyable and your children can have fun easily.

Burton Chace Park is located at 13650 Mindanao Way in Marina del Rey; and the Los Angeles Convention Center is at 1201 S. Figueroa St. in Los Angeles.

With his new film, Abbas Kiarostami goes to Tokyo and delves even more deeply into the world of artifice that he explored in his last film. The masquerade begins when Akiko (Rin Takanashi), a call girl, and her client Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), an elderly professor, pretend to be granddaughter and grandfather in order to avoid the wrath of Akiko’s jealous boyfriend when they are caught in a car together. Kiarostami builds layers of secrets into the stories that Akiko and Takashi tell each other; their lies eventually become more real and powerful than the truth and increasingly dismissive of the uninitiated third party that is Akiko’s boyfriend.

The film begins very slowly and focus on the girl’s ‘client’ is an friendly, almost doddery old academic who doesn’t seem to be remotely interested in sex; and almost everything else in the movie – not only motives but even events and identities – appear slippery and ambiguous. It’s not that the story is hard to follow; it’s just so delicate, almost evanescent, that it’s difficult to get a firm grasp on it.

Some tension is introduced when Takashi gives advice to Akiko’s mechanic boyfriend Noriaki (Ryo Kase), who claims to be her fiancé, and may now dangerously find out how Akiko makes money. So this story involves mysterious and troubling with ambiguity intentions in sentimental contours and despite of the action takes place in and around cars some characters’ relationships and moral twists you can get a good message from it.  It lacks the dark streak of unpredictability end but this film is full of reflections of life in the typical Japanese style.

The Super Bowl has become a cultural event, with parties thrown around the country as fans, some more ardent than others. The Baltimore Ravens shook off an unprecedented Superdome blackout and a near improbable second-half comeback by the San Francisco 49ers, to hold on and capture one of the greatest, and certainly wildest, Super Bowls, 34-31 on Sunday. The half the lights in the Superdome went out in a third quarter Super Bowl power outage, causing a 34-minute delay. Since that moment, the 49ers have regrouped and dominated.

Flacco was especially potent in the first half, completing 13 of 20 passes for 192 yards in the first 30 minutes to give the Ravens a 21-3 lead with 1:45 left in the half. The two head coaches, John Harbaugh of the Ravens and Jim Harbaugh of the 49ers, are brothers. Their parents have said they are cheering for both teams.

Definitely it was a a game full of emotions for 100 million or so Americans expected to tune in on TV.
