Educators have known for years that children are able to master basic arithmetic by seeing the patterns in orderly tables of numbers. Clay Pot Software's EQUALS Math Jigsaw Puzzles (www.equalsmath.com), utilize the visual aspect of arithmetic learning and combines it with fun and rewarding games that give children immediate feedback and reinforcement. Available in two levels, the jigsaw puzzles allow children to learn at their own pace and retain what they have already learned to help keep them from getting lost or confused in math. The Window's based CD-ROM teaches children to count, tell time, deal with money, do basic math and division and work with fractions and factors.

I had these when I was last in Australia - just north of Sydney in a place called Parramatta......there was a bakery which specialised in making these; they baked them at least three times a day.....my idea of what they should be like! Simple, no frills - a great meat pie! Traditionally topped with lashings of tomato sauce!

Provides superior comfort over traditional single- stage and two-stage products, further reducing temperature swings in your home.
By changing the speed of its airflow during start-up, your furnace can adjust humidity levels and create more even temperatures throughout your home, while enhancing efficiency and reducing operating noise.
This means 96% of your fuel is converted into usable heat. Compared to an older furnace, this can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year in energy costs.
Uses a smaller Btu input per burner for quieter start-up and operation while providing more even heat distribution.
Made from stainless steel for maximum strength and crimped, rather than welded, Armstrong Air heat exchangers are highly resistant to thermal fatigue and other stresses caused by repeated heating and cooling. During the testing process, they are subjected to temperatures that far exceed normal operating ranges, to ensure they will stand up to years of use.
Every Armstrong Air furnace is engineered and built with EHX Technology, a patented design that eliminates the hot spots that can shorten furnace life. EHX Technology makes heat exchangers more durable, and with its advanced airflow system, more air contacts the heat exchanger surface area for greater heat exchange, enhancing efficiency and comfort.

Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) optimizes performance automatically
Optimize performance with data center infrastructure management (DCIM), software that monitors, measures, and manages energy consumption. The tool aims to bridge the communication gap between IT and FMs.
There are several data center challenges facing the commercial industry, and proposed solutions just aren't computing.
Data centers use 10-30 times more energy per square foot than office space and have an average downtime cost of $300,000 per hour, according to a report from UBM Tech and InformationWeek Marketing Services.
Nearly 25% of companies will run out of capacity in at least one of their sites this calendar year, Siemens estimates. Increasing government regulations and the misalignment of IT and facility departments represent more abstract challenges.
There may be a better way to serve server rooms – data center infrastructure management (DCIM).
DCIM software tools monitor, measure, and manage data center performance, utilization, and energy consumption, says Yue Ma, senior product manager of DCIM solutions at Siemens.
"With the proliferation of cloud computing, mobile devices, big data, and web hosting, data centers are facing constant change requirements," Ma says. "In order to accommodate all these changes, the IT and facilities departments need to have constant coordination."
This collaboration does not just involve people, Ma explains. It should also entail the relationship between systems.
"Are you going to manage individual systems continuously and independently? Maybe, but only to a certain extent," Ma says. "To reach the next level of data center management, you need a unified approach. Integration through DCIM of your core infrastructure can not only bring more capacity, but also hard financial savings."
Via its interface, DCIM software provides benchmarking graphs, alarm notification, and other performance analysis. Real-time monitoring allows operators to respond to energy spikes before they become costly concerns.
DCIM tools integrate facets of building, system, and energy management and enable users to understand data center performance with a holistic perspective. "It bridges the gap between IT and facility management," Ma says.
If the facilities department wants to perform preventive maintenance, the FM can understand the potential impact on IT and maintain minimal disruption, Ma explains. Conversely, if IT wants to add or move assets, the facilities staff can be involved from the start to provide a planning and operations perspective.
Although a new technology, DCIM has already been deployed by international IT firm Atos in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
In one data center, Atos was able to see that cooling fans were working too hard and the tile layout was suboptimal. Acting on a DCIM trigger, Atos rectified the errors and observed 9% energy savings after two weeks, which amounts to 50 kW per year. Additionally, one cooling unit had been working harder while others were idling more. Balancing the load improved the life expectancy of all cooling assets.
Data is often decentralized, incomplete, and inaccurate, but software makes sense of it, Ma says. Having an accurate baseline allows you to pinpoint problems and implement guided solutions.
"Information helps you make smarter decisions to optimize your data center operations," Ma says. "The goal is to move from a reactive state of affairs to prevention and control."

"In a Town This Size"
(No kid music content here.)
I lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, until I was 12 and we moved to Minnesota. Bartlesville was an oil town, the worldwide headquarters of Phillips Petroleum (for which my dad was a research scientist). It was a relatively well-off town, with strong schools (my dad was on the school board, in fact) and a stronger cultural core than you might expect for an Oklahoma town of 35,000. It even boasts the only Frank Lloyd Wright designed skyscraper, the Price Tower, and hosts the annual OK Mozart festival (which was launched while we were living there). It was a good place to grow up.
Like most families who moved to Bartlesville, my parents asked around about the best pediatrician when they got there from Arkansas, and received the consensus advice that the doctor to see was Dr. Bill Dougherty, Jr., who was a young and skilled pediatrician, respected in the community.
And, it turns out, Dr. Dougherty engaged in the consistent sexual abuse of children, patients and otherwise.
I first heard a bit about it maybe five or ten years ago (or perhaps even earlier); at that time, what I heard was that his abuse was solely of kids in a scout troop. It turns out, unsurprisingly, that it was far more extensive.
A new film, In a Town This Size, tells his story and, heartbreakingly, the story of his victims. I watched the movie (made by one of his victims, Patrick Brown) this morning, and it was chilling.
Neither my siblings nor I were among Dougherty's victims; my mom never left us in the examination room with him alone.
But it was striking — and rather intense — to see people my own age, people I easily may have been in school with or played on soccer teams with, discussing the abuse. One talked about the visual that haunted him from his visits, that of one of those cat clocks with the eyes that go back and forth, and it made me remember that same clock in what must have been the same examination room (a room that, like all of Dougherty's, had doorknobs too high for a child to reach). The victim speaks of focusing on that clock during the abuse. To a person, the victims in the film — and there are quite a number who shared their stories — have stories about how intensely Dougherty's abuse affected their relationships, their professions, their families — their lives.
The film also includes an interview with a person, probably mid-70s, who was close friends with Dougherty and whose kids all went to him as their doctor. In one of the toughest parts of the movie to watch, he describes his growing realization that this friend of his — a person he trusted entirely — had abused and stolen the childhood of at least three of his six children. He later discusses his struggles from within his faith to consider forgiving Dougherty. (The filmmaker speaks frankly about how low on his list of priorities "forgiving Bill Dougherty" is. I can't argue with him.)
Sometime in the '80s, Dougherty's crimes became slightly known and he retired from medicine. The local paper published a story about "a local pediatrician" — not naming him — and his victims. Due to the statute of limitations in Oklahoma, and the lack of recent victims speaking at the time, he was never criminally charged, and evidently still lives in Bartlesville, only leaving at night, in disguise.
The movie was obviously of particular interest to me because of the personal connection. But it's also a good reminder that pedophiles don't come with name tags or signage, and that part of our job as parents is to be aware of everyone who's around our kids. That doesn't mean assuming everyone is wicked, but it does mean being cognizant, speaking with our kids, and listening to our kids. I am so grateful to my parents for doing that (and that doesn't mean for a second that I'm blaming victims' parents, or the victims themselves, for abuse). I hope we're doing the same.

Persuasion in Politics
We present a model of the creation of social networks, such as political parties, trade unions, religious coalitions, or political action committees, through discussion and mutual persuasion among their members. The key idea is that people are influenced by those inside their network, but not by those outside. Once created, networks can be rented out' to politicians who seek votes and support for their initiatives and ideas, which may have little to do with network members' core beliefs. In this framework, political competition does not lead to convergence of party platforms to the views of the median voter. Rather, parties separate their messages and try to isolate their members to prevent personal influence from those in the opposition.Download Info

Anger is like fire – it can be measured in varying degrees. Have you looked at your anger lately? Is it mild and controlled … or is it red hot and burning out of control? What true inner desires are motivating your anger? Listen as June Hunt talks about changing your focus to become the person God created you to be.
When anger bursts forth, people are unsure of how to handle it. They're told anger is always bad, so they stuff it, mask it, and even medicate it to keep it from surfacing again. But in doing so, they never get to the root of the problem and learn constructive ways for dealing with it. The Answer to Anger provides clear, compassionate counsel for mastering this emotion.

As you know, soundbars have been all the rage with their sleek design, easy installation process, wireless set up, and their ability to produce a form of surround sound. So, does this mean you've found a replacement for a bulky surround sound system with front, rear, and center speakers? For some of you – heck yes! For others, nope, don't think so. It all comes down to one, personal reason you'll have to decide for yourself - - what kind of in-room experience are you looking for? Let's break down the pros and cons of each set up so you can decide what's best for your situation.
Soundbar Overview
- Easy installation and connectivity
- Minimal wires
- Single speaker system
- Modern design
- Great for small-medium living spaces
- Excellent virtual sound, which highly simulates surround sound
- May need to buy separate subwoofer (althought many systems include a sub, such as our HD Theater SB 3 and Klipsch Icon SB 1)
- The placement of the soundbar creates specific "sweet spots" in your listening experience
- Does not produce complete surround sound, especially in larger living environments
Surround Sound System Overview
- Full range surround sound
- Able to place speakers in multiple stations for optimal acoustics
- Maximum bass
- Audiophile theater system presentation
- Most quality systems require running wires from the receiver to each individual speaker
- Takes up more space
- More involved installation process
- More expensive
Q: Does Bigger = Better?
Big speakers may provide the look of a major sound producing machine, but remember, looks can be deceiving. While it is true large speakers have the ability to produce eardrum pounding sound and are an excellent choice for a large room, soundbars and smaller speaker systems are more than capable of producing quality sound. Make an informed decision and learn how to ensure a quality set up by reviewing the following section.
How Do I Compare a Soundbar to a Surround Sound System?
As with any audio product, there are varying levels of quality and associated performance depending on the device. The best soundbars will overpower and outperform the run-of-the-mill surround sound system. So, the question is, what performance standards do you look for? We'll make this part easy on you. Just refer to the below list on how to understand the specs to find the quality speaker system you desire.
- Sensitivity
The speakers' effectiveness of converting power (watts) into volume (decibels). The higher the sensitivity, the less power the speaker needs to deliver the effective sound. To put it quite simply – a higher sensitivity rating = loud, clear, high quality sound.
Speaker |
Sensitivity Rating |
Power Needed To Produce High Volume |
Speaker A |
85 dB |
100 Watts |
Speaker B |
89 dB |
50 Watts |
Speaker C |
92 dB |
25 Watts |
*less power to produce higher volume is key for speaker longevity
- Frequency Response
The range of frequencies that are audible to humans lies between 20 and 20,000 Hert (Hz). Some of the lowest frequencies (below 35 Hz) are more felt than heard (like an earthquake in an action movie), and are produced by the subwoofer. Review the frequency response range to understand what kind of listening experience you will gain with the associated highs and lows that the speaker produces.
- Power Handling
How much power, in watts, a speaker can handle before it is damaged. Simply put, the higher the power handling, the more likely you are to piss off the neighbors.
- Impedance
How much electrical resistance is presented against the current flowing from your outputs. Impedance will fluctuate since the speaker will produce sounds at varying frequencies, but all manufacturers will publish a nominal impedance figure. 8 ohms is the norm, though some speakers can handle a 4ohm load (just make sure your receiver matches this load).
Hopefully this helps to answer some of your questions on how to choose the right speaker system. Remember, much of it comes down to personal preference, but be sure to do your homework when it comes to reviewing the specs and associated performance standards of each sound system. We're sure that either choice will amplify your current set up and make PWK proud.

On behalf of the children we serve, thank you for your gift
For more than 40 years, Orange County parents have counted on Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). We could not have become one of the nation's leading pediatric hospitals without gifts such as yours. As a not-for-profit hospital, CHOC depends on community support to keep leading-edge care for children close to home. Because of the serious nature of the cases we see at children's hospitals, many of our patients are not seeking elective surgeries, but need life-saving treatments. Our care is available to every child who needs it regardless of the family's financial resources. There is a tremendous need for additional space to help us meet the future healthcare needs of the region's children. We look forward to sharing updates with you as we expand to meet the area's projected growth rate through the year 2020.

A study is made of the problem of estimating interference in an imperative language with dynamic data structures. The authors focus on developing efficient and implementable methods for recursive data structures. In particular, they present interference analysis tools and parallelization techniques for imperative programs that contain dynamically updatable trees and directed acyclic graphs. The analysis methods are based on a regular-expression-like representation of the relationship between accessible nodes in the data structure. They authors have implemented their analysis, and they present some concrete examples that have been processed by this system.

Embarrassing momentsMartin scores two mentions on NASCAR's listPosted: Wednesday August 2, 2006 11:56AM; Updated: Wednesday August 2, 2006 3:37PM
NASCAR has had plenty of embarrassing moments, not surprising in a sport in which one of the main goals is to push the limits of technology. Darrell Waltrip, one of the sport's greatest ambassadors and champions, said in 1976, "If you don't cheat, you look like an idiot; if you cheat and don't get caught, you look like a hero; if you cheat and get caught, you look like a dope." But the NASCAR nation has had its collective face turn red often, for reasons that have nothing to do with stretching the rules. For every team that has loaded up its roll cage with buckshot to meet the minimum requirements (and then had the driver release the buckshot as he drove around the track to make the car lighter), there's an incident such as Wendell Scott's sole career victory. Wendell is the only African-American to win a NASCAR race, a Florida race in 1963. But second-place finisher Buck Baker took the checkered flag, was swamped by officials and pretty girls in Victory Lane, and then handed the trophy. Scott was later told that there was a scoring error and that he was indeed the winner. He didn't get his trophy until a month later, with little fanfare. But those events predate NASCAR's modern era, which started with the 1972 season and title sponsorship from Winston. Here are NASCAR's most embarrassing moments since then (and we won't even count 30 years of title sponsorship from a tobacco company). 1. The King and Pettygate, Oct. 9, 1983 Richard Petty was dubbed The King because he claimed seven NASCAR titles, won almost twice as many races as any other driver in history (200) and captured the hearts of stock-car fans like no other. But in October 1983, Petty found himself in a royal mess. He had won the 198th race of his career at Charlotte, but NASCAR officials quickly discovered that he had used four left-side tires. The tactic was an old one to pick up speed, but it was still against the rules. As the postrace inspection continued, inspectors found that Petty's engine was at least 20 cubic inches bigger than the rules allowed. Richard's crew chief and brother, Maurice Petty, quickly accepted blame for the transgressions and said that his brother knew nothing of the irregularities. Hours later NASCAR announced that Petty Enterprises would be fined a then-record $35,000 and would be stripped of 104 points. While the win stood, Pettygate had long-lasting effects. Maurice's reputation never recovered, and Richard left his family team at the end of the season. 2. That'll cost you a title: Feb. 25, 1990 Early in the 1990 season, Mark Martin won at Richmond. The postrace inspection, however, found a carburetor spacer plate in Martin's engine that was half an inch too tall -- an infraction, but one that would create little extra horsepower. NASCAR still penalized Martin's team 46 points and fined his crew chief (Robin Pemberton, now NASCAR's vice president of competition)$40,000. The penalty ultimately cost Martin the driver's championship: He finished 26 points behind Dale Earnhardt for the 1990 title. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Carotid Artery Stenosis(Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis; Carotid Artery Disease)Pronounced: kah-rah-tid ar-tur-ree steh-noh-sis
Marjorie Montemayor-Quellenberg, MA DefinitionCarotid artery stenosis occurs when the carotid arteries narrow. The carotid arteries are major arteries found on each side of the neck. They supply blood from the heart to the brain. This condition is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke is when blood flow to the brain is blocked due to blood clots. Carotid artery stenosis is a potentially serious condition that requires care from your doctor.
CausesCarotid artery stenosis is caused by the build-up of plaque along the lining of the arteries. This build-up is known as atherosclerosis. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, and other substances. Risk Factors TOPRisk factors include:
Symptoms TOPThere are usually no symptoms. Tell your doctor if you have symptoms of a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke). This is a warning sign that you may have carotid artery stenosis. Symptoms may include:
Diagnosis TOPYour doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will listen for irregular blood flow in the carotid arteries with a stethoscope. Tests may include:
Treatment TOPThe goal of treatment is to prevent carotid artery stenosis from causing inadequate blood flow to the brain or causing a stroke. Treatment will depend on:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include: Medication and Lifestyle ChangesIf there are no symptoms and if plaque build-up is not severe, medicines like aspirin may be given to help prevent a stroke from occurring. Lifestyle changes are also an important part of treatment. Some actions you can take to reduce your risk of stroke include:
SurgerySurgery may be needed if the arteries have severe plaque build-up. One kind of surgery is called carotid endarterectomy. This involves opening the artery and cleaning the plaque from it. Another surgery that may be done is carotid angioplasty and stenting. In this surgery, a balloon is inserted into the artery to widen it. Then a metal mesh, called a stent, is inserted to keep the artery open so that blood can flow freely. Prevention TOPTo help reduce your chance of getting carotid artery stenosis, you will need to decrease the risk factors that you can control. For example, you can reduce your cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. Here are some steps to decrease these risk factors:

Amy Adams to Receive Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Cinema Vanguard Award
The 38-year-old could score her fourth best supporting actress Oscar nomination in seven years for her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master."
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival said Monday that Amy Adams, the thrice-Oscar-nominated actress who is widely expected to score fourth nom next month, will be presented with its Cinema Vanguard Award on Jan. 31 at Santa Barbara's historic Arlington Theatre.
She is a contender for a best supporting actress Oscar nom for her performance as the wife of a cult leader in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.
"Adams is one of the gutsiest and most gifted actors working today," SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement. "She embodies what the Cinema Vanguard Award is all about, and after her performance in The Master, the time has come to recognize her talent and versatility."
Adams is best known for her performances in Phil Morrison's Junebug (2005), John Patrick Shanley's Doubt (2008), and David O. Russell's The Fighter (2010), all three of which brought her best supporting actress Oscar nominations, as well as her turns in two big-studio films: Kevin Lima's Enchanted (2007) and the late Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia (2009).
This year, in addition to her performance opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master -- for which the Los Angeles Film Critics Association recently gave her the year's best supporting actress prize -- she also appeared opposite Clint Eastwood in Robert Lorenz's Trouble With the Curve and Viggo Mortensen in Walter Salles' On the Road.
The SBIFF's Cinema Vanguard Award honors "an actor who has forged his/her own path, taking artistic risks and making a significant and unique contribution to film." Previous recipients include Kristin Scott Thomas, Ryan Gosling, Vera Farmiga, Stanley Tucci, Christoph Waltz, Peter Sarsgaard and Nicole Kidman. The Artist stars Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo shared the award last year.
SBIFF announced in November that it will honor Ben Affleck (Argo) with its Modern Master Award on Jan. 26 and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook and The Hunger Games) with its Outstanding Performer of the Year Award on Feb. 2.
The 28th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival runs Jan. 24-Feb. 3.

It remains a source of astonishment to me that no matter how popular a city gets with tourists, everyone sticks to a few well-established sights. Stroll from Venice's Santa Lucia train station to St Mark's Square, or amble around near Notre Dame in Paris and you'll feel like you're on a conveyer belt of camera-toting tourists.

Movie News
Straight from Sylvester Stallone... WALTER HILL is directing HEADSHOT!
Hey folks, Harry here... Last Friday, I got a surprise call from Sylvester Stallone to chat with me about Walter Hill. I immediately did my geek duty to Walter Hill and sung his praises throughout the phone call, because... just in case you forgot... WALTER HILL is the MAN! Not the oppressive MAN, but the MAN who gets cool shit done! Well - I just got the following email from Stallone:
Readers Talkback

+ Expand All
btw @theslystallone says:
I'm still picturing Eddie Murphy and Stallone in 48 Hours and stunned at what that would've looked like...
That's what he said Kramer was brought in to do, but came up with something too violent.
Call me excited - Walter Hill is awesome.
Wrestlers and rappers need not apply.
Hell yes. I love Hill's movies- particularly the under appreciated Extreme Prejudice and the still awesome (almost thirty years later) 48 Hours. Now we just need to John Mctiernan back to work, and action movies can be awesome again.
Cool news indeed.
Sounds like great news to me!!!

jarek, speaking of Banderas, "Assassins" was a bad-ass movie.
by IronEagle74
I don't care what anyone says. It was underrated, and Stallone and Banderas going against each other was classic.
Stallone wants to direct without "directing" again- It's great. He can blame Walter when it tanks or take the credit if it doesn't. Walter Hill (at this point in his career) will take Stallone's shit. In the press Stallone said Kramer's take was "too violent" and got rid of him - (That's the sugar coated version) Does anyone want a PG-13 Stallone movie? Is Stallone dumb enuf to make one? Dude, you're 70! Hire a director who'll make sure you stay out of your own way (tall order). Jump on a killer cycle and bring the fuckin' noise... on the next one, cause you just blew it here.
Too easy.
George P. Cosmatos, anyone?
April 11, 2011, 9:20 p.m. CST
Not Hill related-but wasn't Beverly Hills cop supposed to be a Stallone movie orginally, too?
by The_Dark_Shite
Wait. I guess that IS Hill related. Just not of the Walter variety:-).
I actually feel bad for Hill. Kramer got an early Christmas gift by leaving that nightmare.

bringingsexyback - Hill directed in the decade Stallone's career peaked
by Mennen
I fell bad for Hill.
Actors do it all the time. I think Sly and Vin would be cool on screen together. Especially with Hill behind the camera.
April 11, 2011, 9:35 p.m. CST
I dare Hill to cast Eric Roberts in the role of the Hitman
by The Krypton Kid
That would kill!
April 11, 2011, 9:39 p.m. CST
Harry, some of the jokes you make crack fall pretty flat for me...
by BlaGyver
But I laughed audibly at "not the oppressive MAN, but the MAN who gets COOL SHIT DONE". Good one big guy.
April 11, 2011, 9:41 p.m. CST
I'm sure Sly would love to get Vin, but Vin wouldn't do it.
by JuanSanchez
Too big an ego. He claims putting The Rock in F5 was his idea, but he didn't like sharing the spotlight with him.
Let's see the two of them kick ass together at least once.
April 11, 2011, 9:46 p.m. CST
Timothy Olyphant co starring in a Walter Hill action movie
by antonphd
that would be a great team up. but fuck it, sly and jason statham should be every movie together.
That's actually why I brought up Banderas. This movie on the surface reminded me of Assassins. I too have a soft spot for that flick.
people really want more old ass Stallone? That facial hair of his makes his mouth look like a stripper's twat.
I'm intrigued about the more violent approach but if not everyone on the team wants to make that precisely then it's ok, there'll be time to find another good movie like that. I'm up for having a good time, no matter the ammount of violence in the pic. Quite a resume on that Walter Hill dude.
oh wait....
Imagine Stallone and Nicholas Cage teaming up, this could be that very project
April 11, 2011, 11:03 p.m. CST
Old school director might mean some classic cinematography techniques are used...
by Ray_Tango
e.g. Shoot wide and avoid the shaky cam and whip pans/crash zooms BS that ruined most of the well choreographed fights in Expendables (and Bourne, Quantum, Nolan Batman etc...). I don't care if Stallone "ghost directs" to some degree. I think Walter Hill will cope :) Between them hopefully they can pull something pretty great together. It's really going to come down to the co-lead casting. Please let it be someone who's a real badass. Statham would be okay again. Just don't let it be some fucking pretty boy who would look more at home on a cat walk than kicking someones head in.
April 11, 2011, 11:20 p.m. CST
I can't believe some of you morons want Vin Diesel
by IndustryKiller!
Diesel is just....I mean Christ it goes without saying at this point he's wretched and box office poison in anything without a F&F moniker in the title. Put your fucking idiotic fanboys brains from 1999 away for a second and THINK with a modicum of taste for God's sake.
April 11, 2011, 11:26 p.m. CST
Walter Hill's last great flick was Extreme Prejudice.
by Amadeo Zeller
...But Last Man Standing had its' moments, though.
I mean yea, he is old. Who cares. I would still rather see Sly or Arnold on screen kicking ass than any of the younger guys. And yes, Vin Diesel is a terrible idea......... What about someone that no one would expect, like Brandon Routh as the younger guy?
would be cool
Walter Hill has a pretty cerebral style..... you could say cool and distant...... you could say arm's length........ you could say he has a cynic's eye....... or maybe that's just me and I'm full of it. People don't usually mention "Southern Comfort" when Walter Hill comes up, but that's my favorite thing of his. Stallone on the other hand is just raw, raging emotion. How do you put those two things together?
I could see him clashing with Sly. In the movie, I mean. Give him something better than I am number four, at least...
... then "the warriors" (not the director's cut with the comic book slant)
April 12, 2011, 1:01 a.m. CST
Want: Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Would Settle for: Vin Diesel. Getting: Jay Pharoah
by Doctor_Strangepork
will walk from this turd fest. Probably needs a movie badly and doesn't get much offers cause of age, but Stallone will be calling the shots. Backseat driver is right. Stallone has directed himself for way too long to be able to be directed anymore. Same with writing. He rewrites everything and claims it for his own cause let's never forget the man wrote Rocky. I love Walter Hill as much as the next action fan, but Stallone needs to be in the hands of a younger, cooler director to give it a contemporary feel and not feel like a 90s flick which screams DTV now. But the man shows no respect, knows no respect. And what is this comedy bullshit Sly???! You can't do comedy. Nobody wants to see you try..don't even try to be funny you don't have it in you. Just kill people viciously and walk cool, dude.
wOw wOw WOW, Tango&Cash is awsome. As a kid I loved that movie, the prison escape was sweeet. Now back the fuck off Tango & Cash cause Kurt Russel as Riggs and Sly as super high class rich smart cop, thats great, movie is great for the old time action hero movies. Your triping if your intention was to say it was bad.
Michael Fassbender kicks all kinds of ass. It's shocking that he's not a huge star yet, but it will happen. I like Dwayne Johnson, and he's is finally getting back into action after a bunch of Disney fluff. Ignoring the young up-and-comers for a bit, I'd love to see Sly paired with or against Jean Reno, Arnie, Patrick Warburton (in an action comedy), Ron Perlman, Ray Stevenson, and Axe Cop. Speaking of Ray Stevenson, can you imagine Sly as a Punisher villain? That would be seriously awesome.
April 12, 2011, 1:57 a.m. CST
yeah Bradon Routh is a good idea to pair with the BACKSEAT DIRECTOR
by Frye777
that is all.
Rocky Balboa, Rambo, and The Expendables were all awful.
I´m sick of pretty kids, shaky-cams and digital action.
Man, that movie is good.
Harry, a question if I may.. As things stand do you know whether we'll get HEADSHOT or EXPENDABLES II first? (also any news on that intriguing sounding EXPENDABLES Directors Cut?)
Eric Bana would be my choice for the cop to play alongside Sly's hitman. He's a great actor with enough charisma to hold his own alongside Sly. He'd be believeable as a cop with ethics - but who's prepared to go outside the law to take down the bad guys. Plus if this movie has any car chases then we all know Bana is an uber petrol head - you wouldn't need to hire a stunt driver!
"...so long as I got a face, you got a place to sit." I thought that line from Extreme Prejudice was funny as hell.
Who in their right mind would care about this? Maybe when it's on HBO a few months after theatrical release (and there is nothing else on).
At last, someone had the guts to say it! Look, Sly is/was GREAT a movie star in the truest sense of the term. In his youth, the camera LOVED him. Movie stars are people who capture your attention when they're onscreen. Sly got lots of my money for the mediocre films that you mentioned. Im a fan, but I ain't blind. He really is not that good of an actor. But undoubtedly one of the top movie stars of his time. I accept that and still pay to watch, but with increasing disapointment.
Can you count suckas?
Picked up a few comments earlier on his clash with Sly. First I heard. I love Wayne's stuff and was really looking forward to this. Anyone know what he's doing now?
April 12, 2011, 8:38 a.m. CST
I don't know who should be slys partner, but i'll tell you who shouldn't
by jolliff89
vin diesel sucks a big fat dick, so does channing tatum, and paul walker, fast the furious sucks, it reminds me of all those scumbags in my small town who go to the middle of town with their stupid ass hondas that they "pimped out" so they say and put a wing on the back and some "cool new" pipes and think they're the shit. so thats first off, second did anyone see GI Joe, yeah channing tatum was real great wasn't he? sucked that shit up with a straw, if either of those actors or paul walker are in this movie someone should be shot.
Same with "Southern Comfort." Still, when was his last really good movie?
Let's go weird. Macaulay Culkin.
He'd rock it with Stallone. Like "L.A. Confidential" but not all past tense and shit.
April 12, 2011, 10:20 a.m. CST
Needs a real actor - would like to see Ryan Gosling
by openthepodbaydoorshal
in a Walter Hill directed ass stomper. Guy could use a good genre flick on his resume.
He would be perfect. Pass the torch Sly! Everybody remembers how awesome it was when Arnold appeared in The Rundown with The Rock.
Without interference. Remember WHY you hired him: 48 Hours The Getaway The Warriors Southern Comfort The Long Riders etc. Let him do his thing please. No repeat of "Supernova", goddamnit!!
I enjoyed it. But seems like no one else did.
I, too, want Nicolas Cage with Sylvester Stallone in a Walter Hill film.
Except that he would be rhyming all the time in his Lep voice, which would drive Stallone's character crazy. Oh, the hijinks!
Stallone has been in his own way for decades. A paranoid tool.
Just curious.... oh wait, I know. They took all your shit before you were able to finish your cycle. Damn, that sucks. You could have looked good in that movie.
Since people are coming up with lame ideas. Really, Ryan Gosling???
April 12, 2011, 1:11 p.m. CST
Why does Sly continue to think Harry and AICN have all the answers?
by Acquanetta
I realize Sly needed a way to get back into the game a few years back, and saw AICN as his ticket to generating buzz for Rocky 6. But at this point, he needs to stop trying to get approval for every new project. The reality is that fanboys will turn on him quicker than anyone- as the backlash against Expendables proved.
good one....will Justin Bieber jokes ever get tired.
April 12, 2011, 3:18 p.m. CST
No wrestlers. His young partner needs to be someone who can act.
by Bobo_Vision
The problem is....most people who can act don't want to be in action films with Stallone. Cop Land was an exception. BUT, if he can make it happen....get someone like Ed Norton, Sam Rockwell, James Franco....someone like this. <p> No muscleheads 'cause then it just becomes wrestling outside of the ring.
This project now has all the tools to be a modern classic! Walter Hill! Sylvester Stallone! Great story! Great script! Sly, if you are listening... I cannot tell you enough how important it is to cast the proper young action actor to co-star with you. Vin Diesel or Statham are your two best bets. The movie would make sooo much $$$$$$!!!! Look what Diesel did with the last two Fast&Furious installments... He made them into straight up action films! Give him the chance Sly! Dont cast Adrian Brody or Matt Damon or crappy actors like that.
Well, at this point, that just means you can't say fuck more than once. I can't think of a Hill movie for which the violence would have merited an R these days. I would say that Walter's last "great" film was either The Long Riders or Southern Comfort. I can't remember which was released first. I was fond of Trespass, though it doesn't rank with his best work.
Sly, do NOT cast Channing Tatum! None of the male demographic like him!!!
They were tonally adult and hard hitting and had tons of cursing. Johnny Handsome would be R for nudity, violence, language, overall badassness... so would 48 HRS, naked hookers, girlfriends, strong violence, cursing... Long Riders would actually get an R today simply for violence. Lots of slo mo exploding bullet wounds, I think there was a bit of Belle Star nudity as well... Southern Comfort, definitely for continual language and bloody violence, lots of cajun death traps, spikings... Peter Coyote getting half his head blown off in the beginning... Walter Hill is a seriously violent film maker who only toned it down for Streets of Fire back in the day and the Driver was basically just one big car chase, would be PG-13 today. Extreme Prejudice had major bloody violence, nudity, language...C'mon, Walter Hill doing a PG-13 comedy action thingy makes me sick to my stomach. Stallone is such a pussy. He just wants the $$$$, that's all he's ever been about.

And speaking of John Woo again, Chow Yun Fat would be good in either EXPENDABLES 2 or HEADSHOT.

Saturn Informative - Saturn cars are horrible - DO NOT BUY

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA -- I am writing this after watching my daughter go through years of ridiculous and costly repairs on her what was once new Saturn. She got caught up in the "customer service" promise like so many have before and since her. Ha! She has had nothing but headaches with that car. It stalls out when she turns corners if the gas tank is 1/4 full. It doesn't start. It stalls at stop lights. Saturn can't find anything wrong with it. But they keep "fixing" things...like talking her into major tune ups when it's not even time for them. This girl is anal about getting her car serviced on time (even before time). She has NEVER missed an oil change or scheduled service. Saturn cars are crap. The car is in the dealership right now because it stalled and she had to push it to the side of the road. Called her with a $500 estimate to fix a few things. What recourse does she have??? NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER SATURN EVER. I've had my Honda for 4 years...no problem EVER.

File a bbb complaint http://www.labbb.org (Saturn of HB has 1 unanswered problem). That loose wire is probably a loose alternator cable. Again "Auto dealearships are not in the business of repairing cars on selling them" - So find a reliable auto shop and use them, just buy the parts at the dealership and take them to your new auto shop. Get your oils changed at a good indie oil changer.
Good luck

That should be "Auto dealearship's are not in the business of repairing cars ONLY selling them"

I concur. (tr)

Very truthful Jay. That backdoor of a dealership always generated more revenue than the front door. I have a friend who is a GM dealer that told me that. A dealer often makes as little as $200 on the sale of a new car. Try getting a minor repair done at a dealer for that amount.

Rodijo, when you buy an automobile from a dealearship. The majority of them would rather see you and your automobile on the side of the road so you'd buy another they'd rather milk you for every dollar. My argument and I've been through this before, which is why I stand behind my words. 1. How do you know the repair is being done? Having a manual isn't enough. 2. Some won't give you the parts back, oh we need that alternator to rebuild it. 3. Clearly - Don't ever take your new auto back to the dealer. Find a good mechanic (listed in the BBB) and take it there. I've never a problem, with a dealership, because "I don't give them one thin dime of money" for all of the ripping off they caused me in the past. Don't ever frequent that Saturn Dealership either for parts, find another. And most of all have a nice day! :) :) :)

If the dealers repair shop keeps screwing you over and not fixing the problem WHY DO YOU KEEP GOING BACK?? Go to a diffrent repair shop or two of them to compare and see what they say the problem is.

A lot of the service on Saturns cannot be accomplished by even the best independent shop. Saturn has you tied down somewhat. Try to have an ignition switch replaced at an independent shop. If you have the serpentine belt replaced at an independant dealer you void any power train warrant left on your vehicle. Going independant is not that easily done.

You are crazy! Saturns are wonderful. I've owned 4 and have NEVER had any problems. GREAT CARS!!

Saturn dealerships are out to make money regardless if the car needs a repair or not. I was just told by a Saturn dealership I needed new tires when thet are only a few months old. Plus they never checked what I asked them to. I will never go to a GM/Saturn dealership again. Sell your saturn and buy a something not made by GM.
