ahahaha, svo þið eruð íslensk ? :O Gaman af því ^^
How is it any different to expressing our opinons on it here?
By posting this here you guys made this a big mess - and I'm making it a mess too I know, by meddling, but somebody has to stand up for her if you guys can bash all on her for something she did for herself and her story, and yes she showed it to others that may or may not like it, and it's understandable that people wanted to criticize but why did you have to put it somewhere else? To open for more people to criticize her? How does that help anyone?
But that doesn't mean people can't express their views on things. Where would we be without critics?
Ah, but we have nothing against critics, I just don't understand why you guys felt the need to post HER ARTWORK somewhere else on the internet just so you could "critizise".
Couldn't you just criticize where you saw it? Or send her a pm?
I'm just asking ...
I'm a chair hates.
That is why i dislike it
Yeah, I can clearly see that and that's what makes it even harder for me to understand why you guys waste your time sending in posts like this just to "bash out" on Chair, especially when it's some FAN made art that has nothing to do with you, nor really with the show, it's just something that Shelby made for a new story of hers, it doesn't consult you at all, because I'm sure you are not going to read it.
Wow, that looks really good. Why do you guys hate it ? o.O
Is it becuase Blair's boobs look bigger?
This picture is fan art, And last time I checked "art" can be anything or anyone you want and how ever you want,
I think Shelby did a good job with this picture and I don't get why you guys are posting this here just to bash on it? Seriously, give me one good reason why to take someone elses work and critizise it like this? Just because, is not a answer btw.
I'm really asking you a question why because I don't really understand why you felt the need to do that.
If anyone should have a new love interest, it should be Blair.
I actually can't agree there.. Blair ALWAYS has a new love interest; Marcus, Cameron e.t.c.
Even how much I hate that Chuck has a new girlfriend, I like it better then the same old "Blair gets a new boyfriend - Chuck gets jealous"
That would be a bit boring .. or that is what I think .
Can you say anything about the character's personality? Will she be likable?
- i know, i'm not going to like her. That's a lost cause ..
I found some new pictures ^^ (or atleast I think they haven't been put in here)
[so Blair actually see's him too ?]
jeeij suit ^^
Is it just me or does he look.. sort of sad/terrified/shocked ?
and then the biggest question of all .. Is this a scene ? Will they be together in a scene ? (like where they are talking and stuff? Sure hope so..)
I loove every outfit off Blair's ! [and almost all of Serena's]
But, what happened to Blair's hair ? :'( I want the long dark curly hair back !
George in "six days (part two)"
Two girls getting nasty and loving it? That's hot. One girl talking about how much it sucked? That's depressing. Wrong! Just wrong.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Explore extraordinary Leeds Castle, the first stone castle built by a Norman baron, and one of England's most celebrated fortresses and private residences.
After departing from the pier, you will drive inland, past the remains of ancient forests that once covered southern England and on to Leeds Castle. Perched on 500 acres of beautiful parkland on two islands, the historic castle bills itself as "The Loveliest Castle in the World."
It's not hyperbole. Leeds Castle is a stunning piece of architecture that has been a Saxon manor, a Norman stronghold, a royal residence to six medieval queens, a palace used by Henry VIII, and even a private residence. Now, lovingly restored, it rises above the idyllic countryside as one of England's most visited castles.
Upon arriving, you will enjoy a delightful walk along a path that follows a meandering stream through a belt of stately trees. It makes for a wonderfully scenic prelude to walking through the castle's 13th-century Gate Tower that guards the only access. Inside, as you stroll from room to room, you will discover that the last private owner, Lady Baillie, left her mark on Leeds Castle by refurnishing it in the 1920s and 1930s. However, many of the rooms still reflect medieval and Tudor periods and this is evidenced by a magnificent collection of medieval furnishings, paintings, tapestries and treasures. Leeds Castle is truly where visitors in the present-day can co-mingle with the lives of those from the past. You can't help but sense the significance of this amazing castle as you walk the grounds, which include a meticulously manicured maze of spiraling yew, and underground grotto filled with macabre images and the unusual turf maze. Quite simply, Leeds is a remarkable reminder of England's celebrated past where even the leaves breathe history.
Following a visit of approximately two hours, which includes a bit of free time to browse the gift shop or further explore on your own, you will re-board your coach and travel back to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hour of of easy to moderate walking/standing. There will be some steps, inclines and uneven or cobblestone surfaces to negotiate. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Guests should be prepared for the possibility of rain.

I had the idea for this top a few years ago, and have had the elements of it too, but only just got around to making it. The main part of the top used to be a dress, while the sleeves are a lace doily I found in a vintage shop. The top can be worn over a singlet or swimsuit.
Jan 12, 2014, 03.10 AMby rita61
Nice top and outfit.
Jan 11, 2014, 11.50 PMby izbott
I have never seen lace dollies used for sleeves, it so pretty. I have seen them for pockets. This very ladylike. I love it! You look good girl!
Jan 11, 2014, 07.00 PMby Mary Athey
This is lovely on you. The lace is fab x

Debate of the Day: What's Your Favorite Video Game Gun?
So I'm told Bulletstorm came out yesterday, a self-proclaimed "balls to the wall" shooter that Fox News thinks is going to turn children into rapists. A lot of the focus is on the vast array of weaponry you can use in the game, which lets you do cool kill combos and such. I'm not buying this as I'm told it's pretty short, but I'll give it a rent someday.
Anyway, it got me thinking back to what some of my favorite video game guns have been. I've played an ass ton of shooters in my day, so there's a lot to choose from. I'll open up the floor for debate, but I'll just pull a few of mine off the top of my head.
Goldeneye – The RCP-90. How could you not love that thing?
Perfect Dark – The Laptop Gun. Completely unfair.
Halo 3 – Spartan Laser. There's nothing more gratifying.
Modern Warfare 2 – Silenced UMP45. Run and gun.
Black Ops – AUG extended mag. Won't know what hit them.
Borderlands - Pestilent Defiler Acid Revolver. Eats through armor, skin, whatever.
Alright, how about you?

Portal gun from portal! No doubt!
# theButterFlyon 23 Feb 2011 at 11:44 am
My favourites:
Unreal Tournament – Flack Cannon
Quake 3 – Double Barrel Shotgun
Golden Eye – The Klobb – It sucks and that is kind of why it is awesome. It is the ultimate humiliation kill.
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight – The gun that fired sticky bombs.
# Stephon 23 Feb 2011 at 11:45 am
I always thought the plasma rifle from Fallout was pretty cool. Nothing like liquidating your enemies into puddles of green goo.
# flash1049on 23 Feb 2011 at 11:49 am
Gravity Gun from Half Life 2?
# zkeon 23 Feb 2011 at 11:49 am
Quake II Rail Gun.
# JRon 23 Feb 2011 at 11:51 am
Goldeneye: RCP90
CoD BO: Galil silenced w/ extended mag
MW2: ACR w/ red dot sight
Halo 3: Battle Rifle
Reach: DMR
Fallout 3: Lincoln Repeater
# Nutcookieon 23 Feb 2011 at 11:51 am
Golden Gun from goldeneye obviously
# Comfortable Madnesson 23 Feb 2011 at 11:56 am
The BFG 9000 from Doom was a hoot. But not sure anything beats the sheer dependability of the BR from Halo 2.
Other favorites:
Perfect Dark: Laptop Gun, chuck one of these into your opponents respawn area and just wait for the curses to start flowing.
Golden Eye: not a gun but Proximity Mines were just mass chaos
# RWARRRRRRon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:15 pm
Goldeneye: RCP90
MW2: Scar FMJ
COD BO: Aug extended mag.. glad to see you know whats up
Halo 3: My Fist!.. if i must i guess ill use my BR or a skull…
Reach: refer to halo 3. replace BR with DMR
GTA series: ak47 usally gets me by fine
Hit man 2: Ballers SD
# MajorToolon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:30 pm
Quake II Railgun
Fallout 3′s Rock-it Launcher… nothing like blowing a Brute's head off with a teddy bear.
# Schiapuon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:37 pm
Quake's Rail Gun.
The gun from painkiller that shoots Shurkens and lightning.
Duke Nukem's Devastators and Shrink Ray
Doom's Double Barreled Shotgun
But seriously, the gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.
# Kyleon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:39 pm
Are we really going to forget about the Lancer (chainsaw gun) from Gears of War?
Also, the Torque bow (I know, not a gun, but whatever) from GoW.
RCP90 from Goldeneye is classic.
# Wraithon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:52 pm
going a bit old school here.
Double Barrel Shotgun DOOM 2
Duke Nukem 3D – shotgun
and number one on my list….
Dark Forces – Stouker Concussion Rifle
# monstrinhoon 23 Feb 2011 at 12:53 pm
doubled barrelled shotgun from doom 2 from waaay back in the day. It was just so satisfying to use. This post shows my age.
# Joshon 23 Feb 2011 at 1:15 pm
Halo 3: Battle Rifle
Modern Warfare 2: FAMAS with extended mags and grenade launcher (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em)
Black Ops: AUG with Reflex
GoW: Lancer, greatest gun never invented
# PJon 23 Feb 2011 at 2:01 pm
SBC Cannon from Serious Sam: Second Encounter.
10mm HV Penetrator from FEAR. Also the feet, the melee attacks in that game are the best in any FPS I've seen.
Wookie Bowcaster from Republic Commando
Crossbow from Half Life 2
Shotgun from Soldier of Fortune
The spinning disc with blades from Turok 2(I think it was Turok 2, played it ages ago)
Everything from Blood 2
# Ruranon 23 Feb 2011 at 2:15 pm
Turok64: Cerebral Bore
# Gregon 23 Feb 2011 at 2:20 pm
Halo Reach Battle Rifle. I like it better than the Halo 2/3 battle rifle because it is single shot. I always found myself running out of ammo quickly with the triple shot. Also, I remember seeing a Halo 2 preview video at one point where the Battle Rifle was single shot, so they were obviously thinking about it at the time.
Chain Gun from Wolfenstien. M+L+I what!
# Benon 23 Feb 2011 at 2:21 pm
Hahaha, the RCP-90 from Goldeneye was the first gun I thought of when I saw this article!!
# Dresteron 23 Feb 2011 at 2:23 pm
GoldenEye: Dostovei, the sound is awesome and I love handguns.
Fallout 3: Railway gun, pinning body parts to the wall.
I also love Sniper rifles but I can't think of one that really stands out.
# Dresteron 23 Feb 2011 at 2:32 pm
Oh yeah, and the bow in Turok64
# ørjan benjaminsenon 23 Feb 2011 at 2:57 pm
I thought the cerebral bore and tek-bow from turok 2 they were cool weapons. Plus shotgun with explosive shells from that game also was very satisfying. really enjoyed that game really
# TheRevieweron 23 Feb 2011 at 3:15 pm
ahh s**t.. when i use to play dark war jedi knight dark forces too.. I LOVED the rail launcher!!
# beckett929on 23 Feb 2011 at 3:15 pm
Not the gamer that most of you are, but going way back, i'm gonna say the Razorjack in Unreal II.
More modernly, I'm a big fan of the M95 sniper rifle and the A416 in Battlefield Bad Company 2
My favorite gun came towards the end of the first Red Faction FPS for the PC. It was a rail gun that could reveal heat signatures from other humans in other rooms, then shoot right through the wall and take them out before they knew what hit them.
Yes, it was easy mode, but it made me feel wonderfully overpowered and I absolutely loved it.
# Rosstopheron 23 Feb 2011 at 3:38 pm
black ops- Commando with silencer and dual mag
mw2- Tar 21 with stopping power and AA12 extended mags
WAW- Skipped it
cod4- G36c with stopping power
All time favorite weapon from any game
Rail Driver from Red Faction 1&2. It had the option to see through walls and kill anyone at any time. So, Basically, just find a place where do one can reach you and kill till your hearts content.
# Geof Lickeyon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:10 pm
Um, the Shark Cannon from Armed and Dangerous is the most amazing gun ever!
# nocon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:22 pm
red faction 2: nano GL six rapid firing grenades? learned to hit noobs from across the map
# Lawdogon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:22 pm
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II railgun. It had an alt fire with a delay that you stick to a wall and catch unsuspecting noobs as they came around a corner.
# LilSjoon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:26 pm
Scarab Gun from Halo 2.
# tayloron 23 Feb 2011 at 4:38 pm
the shotgun in almost every game is pretty awesome
# JCatchon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:45 pm
Counter strike – AWP – you get good with that sucker and you can really make some enemies… Use the scout if you want a challenge.
COD Black Ops – AK-74u – you get it early but it'll last you the whole game.
# rickon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:45 pm
I was a big fan of the Groovetron from Ratchet and Clank. Who wouldn't want a gun that makes your enemies dance in place so you can hit them with a big stick.
COD4 – G36C, Red Dot
MW2 – ACR, Red Dot, M203
BO – Commando, Red Dot, Dual Mags
Resistance – AUG (creating barriers and shooting through them rocks)
Goldeneye – PP7 (I like doing things the James Bond way)
# gengotronon 23 Feb 2011 at 4:56 pm
nothing beats the Farsight from Perfect Dark. shooting through walls is awesome and people got so pissed when they seemingly just would die for no reason.
# Daneon 23 Feb 2011 at 5:04 pm
TF2 – Heavy's Minigun
# Miauwon 23 Feb 2011 at 5:18 pm
Videogame gun?
The zapper ofcourse!
# SpudSTon 23 Feb 2011 at 5:22 pm
It has to be the gravity gun in Half-Life 2. For a few reasons:
1.) It was an unprecedented revolutionary gun in gaming.
2.) It was incredibly innovative, allowing the user to use the world around them to turn it into a dynamic gun of variable lethality and utilization.
3.) Clearly a precursor to the Portal gun.
Gotta be the gravity gun.
# anonymouson 23 Feb 2011 at 5:32 pm
Gravity Gun – Half Life 2
and how can you forget the Chronosceptor from Turok on 64.
The list has to be fixed, it missed:
Doom 2 – Double Barrel Shotgun
# Philomathon 23 Feb 2011 at 5:47 pm
Gauss Rifle from Fallout 3 (so far). Beautiful scope, excellent power for a one-shot kill from a hidden nest… but if you lost the advantage of surprise, nothing beat the plasma rifle with good power, a high rof and a decent mag cap. But then again, who needs mag cap when you have one-shot skill?
Sniper rifle – Soldier of fortune 2
My dick – Postal
Machine gun with explosive rounds – Left for dead 2
Explosive Shotgun – GTA4
Anti matter rifle – Red faction guerilla
Shape charges – Red faction 1
Gobi Campaign Scout – Fallout new vegas
Giant corkscrew power tool- Dead rising
Harpoon gun – Happy Wheels
Energy Beam – Wild 9
The Armacham Type 7 particle weapon from F.E.A.R. One shot and yer target is a char-broiled skeleton. Buhzap!
Whoop! Almost fergot, close second, the Singularity Gun (a.k.a. The Nuke) from Turok 2.
# razorsfuryon 23 Feb 2011 at 7:15 pm
for quake 4 the dark matter gun
cod mw2 nuthin was cooler than the AA12 with extended mags
black ops L96A1 sniper rifle
# Rob Jon 23 Feb 2011 at 8:24 pm
Cerebral bore from Turok, railgun from Quake, Pistol from 1st Halo and absolutely every weapon to grace the numerous Ratchet and Clank games…Every one of them was pure golden
# HW Dukeon 23 Feb 2011 at 9:40 pm
Has everyone forgotten about EVERY WEAPON in the Timesplitters series? The dual SPB-90′s made you feel like a god amongst monkeys….
I hope I didn't catch anything from playing with your s**t.
# Fredon 24 Feb 2011 at 1:47 am
Ratchet and Clank – RYNO (Rip You a New One)
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando – Sheepinator
Ratchet and Clank – Suck Cannon
…good times
# THEFRAGILEon 24 Feb 2011 at 2:10 am
I like th comment about every shotgun in any game
Evar. But I will say my top favorite shotties are Halo Reach's shotgun, The Ithica from Res Ev 5, and the SPAZ 12 from rainbow six Vegas 2. Also the pistol in the first Bioshock. Fully upgraded and godly! And how can I forget, the Portal gun! Oh! And the spy's pistol in TF2. K I have to stop myself. So many to choose!
# Stuon 24 Feb 2011 at 2:25 am
One of the early Turok's had a gun called the Cerebral Bore – and no, its' not a librarian reading a book.
# Nyxariaon 24 Feb 2011 at 3:29 am
Goldeneye: rcp-90
mw2: ump / silencer & rds
blackops: silenced mpl für HC
and the best of course : portal gun from … portal :O
# Teegeon 24 Feb 2011 at 4:09 am
HW Duke
Right? Timesplitters was the shit, I liked the Tactical Shotgun, and the alternate mode of the sniper rifle, sweet as hell!
# Loganon 24 Feb 2011 at 5:44 am
Has no one really said the Halo C.E. pistol? wow.
# Daveon 24 Feb 2011 at 7:01 am
Crossbow from Half Life 2
Shotgun with exploding shells from GTA IV: The Ballard of Gay Tony
Shadowman : the shadow gun.
Towards the end of the game, when it is fully powered up. It's epic!
# Scrogginson 24 Feb 2011 at 9:42 am
Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. Hands down.
# Samon 24 Feb 2011 at 11:24 am
Half Life- Gravity Gun (sawblade combo)
Portal- Portal gun
Turok 2- cerebral bore
Perfect dark- FarSight XR 20 (the x-ray sniper)
XIII- crossbow with scope (headshots have never been so satisfying)
# Furiouson 24 Feb 2011 at 11:29 am
Halo C.E. – Magnum
CoD: BO – Aug w/ Reflex and Silencer
CoD: MW2 – Intervention w/ FMJ and Thermal
Tribes – 4 Barrel Shotgun
Goldeneye – RCP90
Fallout 3 – Lincoln Repeater
that's all I can think of right now….
# kevoon 24 Feb 2011 at 12:19 pm
Nothing beats the Halo 1 Pistol. Totally dominant and would wipe the floor with the BR's in later versions of the game
# TGon 24 Feb 2011 at 12:21 pm
the basic gun from Outcast with laser sight
# Meatballon 24 Feb 2011 at 12:28 pm
# Anonon 24 Feb 2011 at 1:23 pm
The aug with extended mag? ha, yeah right. The aug is good but it's not that good.
# Aspoonson 24 Feb 2011 at 2:54 pm
Unreal: Shock Rifle (All versions)
Nothing is more gratifying that killing people with the shock combo, and if your good enough earning a "Combo King"
# Shrikezeroon 24 Feb 2011 at 4:18 pm
Combustion Hellfire SMG – Borderlands
As a wise man once said "Sweet Jesus Cinnamon Titty!"
The Diggler – Diablo 2
# EarthThePlaneton 24 Feb 2011 at 4:28 pm
Really, did no one play TimeSplitters 2? The plasma rifle had a second function that was sticky plasma grenades. It was made by the same team that did Golden Eye, plus one of the best arcade/ challege modes ever.
# mamamaMONSTERJAMMon 24 Feb 2011 at 6:58 pm
Number one gun, no matter what, I dont care if you never played it or if you played em all… BFG. just the name alone says it all.
GoldenEye – Dual Phantoms. Could only get them on Frigate
Turok – Cerebral Bore
Counter Stike – Thats a hard one… dualies, deagle, AK, m4, awp, scout. Damn I miss that game
CoD:MW – Gold AK with red dot
MW2 – ACR with red dot
CoD:BO – Commando or FAMAS with red dot
Halo:CE – Pistol
GTA4 – Sawed off shotty. One shot point blank into the backside of a car = BOOM
BF:BC2 – any bolt action sniper rifle or the first shotgun with slug rounds. You can snipe with that badboy
# Staticon 24 Feb 2011 at 11:53 pm
Fallout 3 – Experimental MIRV, fires 8 mini nukes at once! Talk about overkill.
# Tubaccaon 25 Feb 2011 at 12:43 am

Q3-Rocket Launcher
Unreal Tournament-Redeemer
Half Life 1-Gluon Gun

Fallout NV-Cowboy Repeater
Borderlands-Caustic Equalizer (got this in first run through and ended up beating the SECOND run through with it! Its THAT good.)
Bulletstorm-Drill Gun or the (minor spoiler) Controller for Waggleton P. Tallylicker.
# AbIdAon 25 Feb 2011 at 8:29 am
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go old school and say the BFG is still the greatest. Nothin' cleans a room full of baddies like the BFG!
# Teddyon 25 Feb 2011 at 5:21 pm

# Lockeon 26 Feb 2011 at 11:25 pm
Anti-Material Rifle from FO:NV. Nothing like going for a headshot and seeing the body fly away into the distance.
# Jeffon 27 Feb 2011 at 5:25 pm
Gravity Gun from Half Life 2
Physics Gun from Garry's-mod
Mini Nuke Launcher from Fallout 3
Double Barreled Shotgun from Red Dead Redemption
BFG-9000 From Final Doom
Pack A Punch Raygun, Nuff Said.
# Jimon 28 Feb 2011 at 12:28 pm
Here we go;
Turok 2; Cerebral Bore- Nothing like watching their brains spray everywhere before it blows up their head.
Mass Effect 2; M-920 Cain- It shot nukes.
Serious Sam; SBC Cannon- Litterally a cannon. Like from a Pirate ship. Also the Serious Bomb, Instant Death with a Smile.
Crysis; Molecular Accelerator- It freezes water in the air into icicles and shoots them at you.
Star Wars Battlefront 2; Dark Trooper's Arc Caster- So much fun to land in front of a group and zap em all.
This debate gave me enough knowledge on what kinds of video games are available. I will choose something too good on this.
# Nateon 10 Jun 2011 at 2:19 am
The Mega Buster from MM4 onward! best gun in history

Back in October, we pored over Cormac McCarthy's script for "The Counselor" and compared it to the theatrical cut of Ridley Scott's film—and there was a fair bit left on the cutting room floor. While we dug into The 5 Best Deleted Scenes from the movie, there is much more, and now you're going to see it all.
20th Century Fox has announced that the Unrated Extended Cut of the movie will hit Blu-ray next month. So, how much longer will be it? According to Collider, the unrated cut runs 138 minutes long, roughly 20 minutes longer than than the 117 minute theatrical cut. And we'll see what material makes it back in as there is something interesting stuff left out including more zaniness with Javier Bardem's Reiner, the fate of cheetahs, more Rosie Perez, extended sequences and more. (Again, check out our feature and no word yet if Cameron Diaz's original Rihanna-esque dialogue will be put back in).
This new cut will only be available on Blu-ray, with the theatrical version on DVD. Here's Fox's official release below, but note: the runtimes include the bonus features, so as awesome as a 3 hour 40 minute "The Counselor" sounds, that's not happening.
"The Counselor" arrives on home video on February 11th.
An all-star cast, featuring Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, and Penélope Cruz, sizzles in this adrenaline-fueled thriller from visionary director Ridley Scott and Academy Award-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy. A talented lawyer (Fassbender) known for doing the right thing for the wrong people decides to put his connections to the test by diving into a treacherous drug deal for some quick cash. But The Counselor soon learns that having it all could mean losing everything.Blu-ray Special Features:

Why am I not surprised. Almost every single Ridley Scott film has had an extended cut on DVD.
existo | January 6, 2014 11:42 AM
Roxie,have you seen the cut where there were more of Diaz's scenes and in which she used the original dialogue?I would love to hear more about them and a description of them/your opinion on them!Thanks!
Roxie | January 6, 2014 11:06 AM
Now people will have an opportunity to actually see that Diaz indeed gave the best supporting performance of the year. Many of her meaty scenes ended up on cutting floor. And hope FOX reconsiders putting back her original accent in the extended cut. It was so good. Diaz was proud of it and felt disappointed when they made her re-dub it in post.

The Counselor has cult film potential
Michele | January 6, 2014 10:47 AM
I'm glad to see this announcement. It looks as if I'll be getting both DVD (theatrical cut) and blu-ray. I like the theatrical release, but I'm eager to see what was left out.
Film Freak | January 6, 2014 10:41 AM
If the runtimes include the bonus features, then that would mean those bonus features run for 45 minutes since the press release indicates a 162 minute runtime for the Theatrical Cut (bonus features included) and the running time for the Theatrical Cut (bonus features not included) was 117 minutes.
Sooooâ¦if we substract those 45 minutes of bonus features from the indicated runtime of 220 minutes for the Unrated Extended Cut, we get a runtime of 175 minutes.
Am I wrong in assuming that?
daz | January 6, 2014 10:40 AM
Nice. Looking forward to it but I would really like to know how long the movie will be exactly.

Hello. Very nice theme. How can I add a map on contact page just like you did in the demo? Thanks!
Thanks, I'm glad you like the theme

to post your support questions. Thank you!
P.S. You can read about installing the map widget in the "Plugins included" section of the documentation included.
I'm interested in buying this, but When someone Clicks on the image
Is it possible to instead of showing a larger preview of that image, could we make it go to a page for further description?
Yes, there is an option to link the item to its single page where you can add more content or you can link it to any other page. You can see an example on the Mixed Gallery page, just click on the "Standard Page" item.
I wanted to purchase this theme – but as a gift, not for myself. If I purchase it from my account, will it bound to my account or can I "give" the license to somebody else's account?
Thank you
I believe that ThemeForest doesn't provide an option to transfer a license from one account to another.
Pre purchase questions:
Is it possible to make the "thumbnails" smaller, so more would fit on any given screen size?
Also, can the gallery symbol and red dot with nr of images be hidden? I would like an even cleaner look and feel…
Thanks Nils
Hi Nils,
Yes, there is an option to change the default thumbnail size. Regardig the gallery icon – by default there isn't an option to hide it, but this can be easily accomplished with a single CSS line in the options panel.
I've got a spooky issue, every gallery on the site is doing this.The images are where they should b verified via ftp but stick getting this instead of a lightbox: http://oi43.tinypic.com/33jpbat.jpg
Please help. xoxox
Sorry to stutter. What I mean to say is lightbox is not working, and says image cannot be loaded.

to post your support questions. Thank you
P.S. Please check this article – it should be helpful for you.
I am planning to buy this theme and I wanted to check something with you. Is the gallery page fixed width? And are there any widgets that come with the theme?
The gallery page layout is fluid – it always fills the full width of the window, you can test this by resizing your browser window. Regarding widgets – we have included the Latest projects widget that displays the gallery items in a sidebar (you can see an example here), there is also a sidebar contact form widget included and some other 3rd party plugins, such as the Google maps widget.
Hi Everyone,Just wanted to let you know that we have a dedicated support site here :
So, if you have any support questions, can you please use our support site to post your questions – we will do our best to assist
Very nice theme!
Pre-order question: on gallery page, can I customize the thumbnail ratios into squares and narrow rectangles? As I have images with irregular sizes and would like to show their original ratio as thumb nails.
Many thanks!
Thanks, I'm glad you like the theme
Yes, you can set different thumbnail ratios – by default there is an option to set the base image size and then for each image you can select how many rows/columns to allocate on the grid.
Awesome! Thank you!
Another pre purchase question (that I figure you'll answer "no" to, but if you don't ask….):
Is it possible to have the thumbnail work like this when clicked upon: http://spab-rice.com/wordpress/mila/
Would be cool imo
The gallery doesn't include such kind of click effect – you can see examples of all of the click actions that the gallery supports in the Mixed Gallery page.
Okay – the theme is great anyway. Thanks for your prompt reply.
Great theme and very good support, recommended!
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm very happy to hear this!
Is it possible to have a Portfolio Grid gallery slide control? As in, the end user would have a slider that could dynamically control the default grid size, to allow more or less photos to fit on the screen.
I know it can be done manually from the backend, but is it possible to allow the user to play with this?
We have a dedicated support system where all the Pexeto items support is handled, so can you please use our support system here:http://pexetothemes.com/support/
to post your support questions. Thank you
P.S. By default the gallery grid size can be changed from the back-end options only – there isn't an option for the site visitor to change it.
Does this theme have the ability to display thumbnails in the single portfolio image view? http://pexetothemes.com/demos/expression_wp/portfolio/summer-vacation/
Or the allow the user to play/pause the portfolio slider?
The portfolio slider doesn't include a thumbnail preview, however the full-width slideshows support this option, so you may consider linking the item to a full-width slideshow page instead of opening a slider. Regarding a play/pause option – the portfolio slider doesn't include this kind of functionality, as it is designed to be controlled by the user when browsing a gallery of images.
Instead of a gallery, can I add article pages and have the prev-next buttons as you have?
The portfolio gallery is designed to work with portfolio items only – if you want you can link each item (thumbnail) in the front gallery to a blog post, but if you would like to use the gallery slider, you can do this only by creating portfolio items.
Hi Before buy this template I have one doubt. Hope if we put a variable size there will be empty gaps (normal size, landscape, etc…) here and there, but I wanted to eliminate those gaps. Is this theme providing that functionality? or Is there any ways to restrict that?
By default the gallery always fills the complete width of the available space, but there may be empty spaces in the bottom depending on the number of images and the window size. Generally there is no way to make sure that there won't be any gaps at all in the bottom, but if you insert more items they will be less than the ones you see with the initial load on the demo page.
Hi Thanks for your reply… You mean empty spaces will come only in bottom? Dont they come in da middle even we have large set of images. Actually my plan is to use this theme for photography sites. My friends can upload picture to this site. My concern is when ever they upload will there be gaps appear here and there, i mean in da middle of site page.
That really depends on the size of images you use, if you use very wide or tall images only, there could be gaps on some places – in such cases you could just create some smaller items so that they can fill any side gaps.
Hi thank you very much, i am impressed very much about theme.. We wanted to some modification in your theme as our needs. we are coming back once we purchased…
User called jklaws (one comment below) shared his site http://stillmomentsbyamber.com/ theme. but if u check his site there is a gaps.. thats my worries… Is it possible to remove that or how we can ignore that kind of situation…
On one screen size I don't see any gaps and on another I can see only one gap and that's because there isn't a small image around the big images to fill the gap – in that case, if there was at least one more smaller image after the Sports item, the gap wouldn't exist. Once again – this really depends on the size of images you set, how many small images there will be and the current screen size and the script that positions the images is an automatic script that doesn't provide options to adjust the positioning. As I mentioned above, in most cases if you have enough smaller images around the big ones, there shouldn't be any gaps.
Pre-purchase question. Would it be possible to use this for friends to upload images too? Is there an uploader that would allow friends to upload their own images into albums? Also, I don't like how sharing onto social networking sites doesn't share a specific image, but rather the entire album starting with the first image; can this be fixed?
The upload image functionality is included in the back-end admin only, there isn't an option for visitors to upload images. However, if you trust your friends you can create accounts for them with limited privileges so they can access the admin panel and upload the images. Regarding the sharing – we have designed it so that it shares an entire item, there isn't an option to share a specific image only.
We have a dedicated support system where all the Pexeto items support is handled, so can you please use our support system here:http://pexetothemes.com/support/
to post your support questions. Thank you
P.S. I had a quick look at your site and I can see that the image you use is too big (almost 6000 pixels wide) and that exceeds the limit of the cropping script, you just have to upload a smaller image (I would recommend it to be not bigger than 1500 pixels in size).
Great looking theme. Before I purchase, a few questions. the images on the home page- do they have to link somewhere? Can you just have a lightbox popup instead or nothing at all?
How do you change the number of columns on a gallery page?

P.S. You can change the default thumbnail size in the "Base Image width" and "Base Image height" fields of the Grid Gallery page, for more information about the available options you can refer to the "Template Pages" -> "Portfolio Grid Gallery page" section of the documentation included.
Hi. Got two more pre purchase questions:
1. Does the theme support google fonts? 2. Is it possible to skip the manual loader and autoload all galleries/thumbnails? Alternatively, swop the manual loader to a autoloader – like on google image search.
Thanks niwin
Here are my answers:
1. Yes, it supports Google fonts.
2. Yes, you can load all the items by default, without having to click on the "Load More" button – there is an option to set the number of items to load, so if you set a big enough number, it will load all of the items by default.

Apart from the oppressive humidity, the essential character of a Miami summer evening isn't so different from that under the setting sun of some distant Mediterranean locale. And so if you found yourself listening to guitar music at UM's Clarke Recital Hall in Coral Gables Saturday night, you may have imagined yourself relaxing at some Italian or Spanish garden café.
The pleasant escape was provided by the Beijing Guitar Duo and presented by the Florida Guitar Foundation in its debut season concert.

Fright night: A man is held after a brawl in Haymarket. Photo: Ten News
Two-thirds of Sydney residents feel unsafe in the city centre on a Saturday night, with 94 per cent blaming alcohol for their concerns, according to a poll.
The impact of alcohol on street safety outranked concern about the impact of drugs (79 per cent) or threatening behaviour (79 per cent), the Galaxy survey commissioned by the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education found.
''Our cities are becoming no-go zones,'' the foundation's chief executive Michael Thorn said. ''The Premier [Barry O'Farrell] wants to promote a vibrant night-time economy, but instead he's creating a city many are too scared to enter.''
Opposition spokesman on liquor regulation Andrew McDonald said the brawl in Martin Place on Saturday morning showed it was only a matter of time before there was another victim killed as Thomas Kelly or Daniel Christie were.
He criticised the Premier for saying alcohol-fuelled violence was a matter of personal responsibility.
''At 4.30 in the morning, when someone has had a skinful, no amount of education or being told to behave will protect the public,'' he said. ''This is a public health risk.''
Cabinet will consider measures on Monday to address community alarm at the deaths of the two teenagers in Kings Cross from single punches, and a public backlash against alcohol-fuelled violence.
The Galaxy poll, taken last week, found support strongest for increased penalties for alcohol-fuelled violence (89 per cent) and more police presence in entertainment zones (86 per cent).
There was also strong support for more CCTV surveillance (83 per cent) and more public transport in areas where there were pubs and clubs to assist patrons getting home (79 per cent).
Most of the 324 respondents were in favour of 3am closing (71 per cent) and 1am lockouts (70 per cent).
Mr O'Farrell said cabinet would examine ways to regulate liquor licensing and police powers in entertainment zones better, as well as look at increased penalties and other measures to bring about a cultural change to stop binge drinking.
It was believed a government-backed summit on the alcohol crisis was being considered.
Risk-based licensing - where pubs pay more for extended trading hours - was approved by cabinet 16 months ago but shelved by Mr O'Farrell, the ABC revealed on Friday. The scheme, strongly opposed by the hotel industry, would be re-examined.
Mr McDonald said Mr O'Farrell's decision not to implement the tougher licensing regime showed he was ''in the pocket of the liquor lobby''.
The Newcastle Solution, which resulted in violence falling after lockouts were imposed, was supported by 69 per cent of the respondents.
''Public health experts, police and doctors have long argued for the Newcastle model,'' Mr Thorn said. ''Now the people of NSW are calling for this measure.
''The Premier, [Hospitality] Minister [George] Souris and the [Australian Hotels Association] are the only ones still staunchly opposed to a proven solution that will reduce harm and make our streets safer.''
Online anger after more street carnage in Sydney
Sydneysiders expressed revulsion on social media on Saturday at two large drunken brawls that broke out in the city in the early hours, leaving four men unconscious.
''Just another typical weekend in Sydney,'' Anthony Mercader posted on the NSW Police Facebook page. ''Reason why I feel like I'm in prison. Living behind bars and staying indoors as the thugs have taken over the streets.''
''Not safe to go anywhere at night,'' Ellen Griffiths-Matthey wrote. ''Something [must] be done!''
Police found three men lying on the ground unconscious in Martin Place about 4.30am after a public brawl. The men were taken to hospitals, but refused to co-operate with police investigations.
At almost the same time, a 16-year-old girl was charged with assault after a brawl in Haymarket resulting in a 26-year-old man being knocked unconscious and kicked on the ground. Police said a woman walking along George Street was assaulted by three females who punched her in the face and grabbed her hair about 4am on Saturday. A group of men who tried to intervene became involved in a large brawl. After the 26-year-old was knocked unconscious, his friends left in a taxi and called triple-0. They later returned to Hay Street and the fight restarted.
A 23-year-old woman was treated for facial lacerations and a suspected broken jaw.

your not that funny the fleep
I thought it was pretty funny at the street fighter and pokemon part but the rest was just a letdown for me. Sorry that's just what I think.
lol so random
I mean you just threw tons of random stuff in there that didn't make any sense, copy pasted artwork and shoddy art that you did yourself.
Please try to work on your animations more. Maybe don't use seizure lights? Kinda ruined it for me.
I'm giving you 0 starts because I didn't rate it. I think you could probably do better and I hope to see something good from you in the future.
professional flash reviewer
street fighter and pokemon scene was my favorite
(laughing out loud)
Really really hard to review this
The part about Kimbo Slice is rather funny, but none of the audio is even yours, you have a song from metallica, the techno song we speak no americano, and the audio from the commercial about norton..... So I can't really say you deserve the stars my laughs, since it was the commercial that made me laugh and not you, sorry, try to be original

A clouded amber brew, a warm off-white head with good lacing and good curtains.
Smelling forest, pine, resin and fermented honey.
Starting with brown bread, toffee, grapefruit peel and resin.
Medium carbonation, soft ans smooth with a good body and dry finish.
A good clear, no fuzz, DIPA.

Pours a hazed amber color with an off-white head. Sweet malt on the nose with a decent citrus character. A bit of pine and floral character to it, too. The flavor is on the sweet side as well. Caramel and toffee notes, a little bit of brown sugar, and a moderate hoppiness. Light pine flavor and bitterness, some floral hops, and a touch of grapefruit peel.

3.6/5 rDev -4.5%
Re-review. In July 2011, I gave it 1.6.
The colour is deep gold-amber (17 EBC). The liquid is cloudy. The two finger head is off-white, it slowly sinks down leaving some lacing.
The somewhat thick smell is sweet, bitter and very hoppy. Exotic fruits, grapefruits, lemon and orange peels, resin and hints of oak wood.
The taste is bitter with some malty caramel sweetness. Toffee and hints of wax. Warming alcohol is present. The bitter flavours includes lots of grapefruits and other bitter citric fruits. Some spices and a touch or resin. The dry aftertaste is indeed bitter with citric notes, some nuts and green leaves. The finish is dry-bitter.
The carbonation is mild, the small bubbles smooth. The semi-smooth liquid is astringent and very dry.
Much better than last year's batch. Still, it is a bit too astringent in the mouth.

Had summer of '11, review from notes. Pour is hazy orange copper with decent white ring of head and some large bubbles. There is a light caramel sweetness and big hops, floral and perfumy with some peppery spice and a strange twang. Taste is a bit maltier, rather sweet, still perfumy with citrus notes. Body is syrupy, gentle carbonation and light bitterness in the finish.

A: A light copper amber color and hazy. This beer doesn't seem to be filtered as it is hazy, but there is no sediment and looks very clean. The head is about two fingers high after being poured fairly aggressive and it is white and creamy. Lots of creamy lacing.
S: The first notes that hit my nose is the big citrus, grassy, grapefruit hops. Shortly after that initial hop blast fades, the biscuity malts begin to rear up and fill in the background. They're biscuity, caramel and have a yellow sweet bread quality.
T: It seems to be a tug-a-war between the hops and malts and the heat of the alcohol is bouncing around rooting them both on. The hops are a big grassy, grapefruit quality and they have a nice spicy bite. Overall, you've got some white peppery spice, grapefruit hops, biscuity malts, caramel, grainy malts all filled in with a little alcohol heat here and there.
O: It has a medium-light, crisp, puckering effect. Tastes just like I like an 8.7% Double IPA to taste with some heat there to keep you in check, but not too crazy hot where it goes overboard. Very drinkable for sure. Thanks Anders for getting this in my hands and good job on this one. I'll be looking for this when I get to Sweden again next year.

SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, SC (WIS) - An investigation by the Air Force Inspector General concludes that a female airman was the victim of sexual misconduct several times throughout her career while serving at Shaw Air Force Base.
Last October, the woman submitted official claims she was the victim of sexual misconduct throughout her 17-year career. Some of those alleged incidents occurred while she was assigned to Shaw Air Force Base.
The six-month investigation included interviews from more than 200 witnesses and thousands of pages of documents. The investigating officer found eight officers, ranging in rank from colonel to captain, were responsible for 14 of 38 allegations the woman claimed.
According to the 9th Air Force Department of Public Affairs, the investigation concluded the incidents of misconduct included displays of sexually offensive
materials, consumption of alcohol during official academics or ceremonies, and
failures to prevent sexual harassment or investigate complaints.
Air Force officials say the commanders responsible for those officers took what they determined was appropriate disciplinary action. Six of seven officers remain on active duty. The case remains pending against an eighth officer.

so you should be fine. In general, though, if you already get ESPN or BTN from from your cable provider, you can watch legit online via WatchESPN or BTN2go. You just click on a game and a pop up will come up for you to log in to your cable provider to verify access. It's cool stuff; I have a computer in my TV room and usually watch mutliple games at a time.

His times are from the full-length Day 21 Countdown to Kickoff video which had 26 seconds of Karsch time at the beginning. Just subtract 26 seconds from everything for the youtube video times.

|Youth football is great
My cousin's kid played for grades 5-7 and I worked the chain gang most games. Beats doing lawn work or some other dumb crap around the house. It's fun to cheer when a kid actually manages to kick an XP or complete a pass. In three years, they only had one kickoff where the kicking team recovered the ball because the KR kid let it roll dead like it was a punt, so that's pretty good.

|Which was about all that a lot of people could do
even if they didn't have adverse situations. It was BTN's first game and Bright House Networks in Livonia hadn't finalized the deal with BTN yet. I think Comcast did the week before, so you could see it if you weren't in the Livonia/Farmington Hills area. I didn't see a single play and had to resort to radio, and I didn't listen too intently because I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. Listening to football on radio is such a disconnect that it's hard for me to pay attention much.

|I have a question for the football folks
I'm watching the safety play at 3:28 of the 2nd video, and after the DL shifts, Miller decides to release downfield and block air. After looking at the Hokepoints of IZ, is there ever a time that the C releases downfield? Seems like the C is always covered, and the line shift from the DL shouldn't have changed that.

|Geek story from U-M
A friend of mine wanted to put the sandperson cheer on his computer for his error sound. Why, I have no idea. Back in 1996, this involved multiple steps which took us the good part of an evening to figure out how to do.
1. Wiring the sound from VCR into his roommate's computer
2. Recording the sound using the default Windows recorder
3. Outputting it as some kind of sound file
4. Transporting it via floppy disk to friend's computer
But holy shit, once he fired up that error sound, it was epic

|Clark's a wildly inconsistent player
The Michigan Drill video (Countdown to Kickoff Day 21) is an interesting look into his abilities. He absolutely explodes Braden back 2 yards in one matchup, and gets easily handled by Williams in another. I think for Big 10 media days, anonymous opposing players/coaches said he is one of the best DEs for about 6-7 plays a game; the rest of the time, he's just kind of there.

|I'm guessing Kalis is injured
He's been in zero practice highlights so far. The Michigan Drill video from a couple days ago had 30 matchups in it, including a bunch of walk-ons, and zero Kalis. Every OL except him showed up in that video. The dude's probably hurt.

|3 weeks 2 days ago
|I don't know anything about football
so this is just a guess on the winners/losers.
1. Bunting vs. Marshall -- close call here, go with Bunting since RB got by
2. Braden vs. Hurst, Jr. -- Hurst sheds the block here and makes the tackle
3. G. Glasgow vs. Pallante -- Pallante gets pancaked
4. Bosch vs. Godin -- Solid control by Bosch here
5. Norfleet vs. Watson -- Norfleet got a great initial burst here, but Watson still gets off the block and forces a cutback
6. Williams vs. Clark -- looks like a win for Williams here. Clark can't shed the block.
7. Magnuson vs. Pipkins -- Solid push by Magnuson, Pipkins sheds the block and makes the tackle a little downfield
8. Pliska vs. Morgan -- Some distance apart at the snap; Morgan breaks even on the initial burst and sheds the block and plugs the hole
9. Dawson vs. Henry -- Dawson gives a lot of ground right at the beginning. RB technically gets by, but doesn't really mean much when Dawson gives 2 yards at the snap
10. Miller vs. R. Glasgow -- Miller does an OK job, RB gets by
11. Bars vs. Bolden -- Bars totally owned, ends up on the ground. Bolden strips the ball and runs it the other way
12. Chesson vs Thomas -- Thomas on rollerskates here; much cheering from offensive teammates
13. LTT vs. Hurst, Jr. -- LTT owned here, Hurst sheds block and makes tackle
14. Fox vs. Wormley -- Wormley sheds the block pretty easily
15. Samuelson vs. Ross -- Some distance apart at the snap; Ross sheds the block but gets trucked by Isaac.
16. Bunting vs. Poggi -- Bunting's head is down here and Poggi sheds him no problem
17. Braden vs. Clark -- Great burst by Clark here, sheds the block no problem. Much cheering from defensive teammates.
18. Heitzman vs. Beyer -- Beyer owned here and left knee hits the ground. Cheering for Heitzman
19. Cole vs. Charlton -- Cole gets pushed back, great burst by Charlton. RB gets by, but see #9
20. Bosch vs. Godin -- Bosch controls him pretty well, Godin doesn't get off the block
21. Kugler vs. Henry (I think?) -- Henry gets an arm on the RB, but doesn't completely fly off the block. I'd call this a push.
22. Dever vs. J. Clark -- Good intial burst by Clark, forces a cutback, but Dever doesn't stop either and pushes him to the sideline. Chippiness ensues.
23. Dawson vs. Pipkins -- Pipkins sheds the block easily and makes the tackle. Cheering and chestbumps for Pipkins.
24. Miller vs. Pallante -- Miller controls pretty well, starts to hold at the end
25. Bars vs. Ferns -- So #51 is Ferns, right? Because that guy is tall; he almost looks even with Bars. He sheds the block and makes the tackle.
26. Jocz vs. Charlton (?) -- Just guessing it's Charlton, hard to tell number here. This one's a push, Charlton doesn't fly off the block or anything
27. LTT vs. Mone -- Mone easily get off the block, but doesn't quite make the tackle. Still gets the RB out of bounds. He gets some chestbumps.
28. Miller vs. Henry -- Henry sheds the block to get an arm on the RB. Push like #21
29. Pliska vs. Winovich -- Some distance apart at the snap; Winovich seems to do an OK job and would make a tackle a few yards downfield
30. Chesson vs. Watson -- Chesson has good initial burst, RB gets by, but Watson does fight back and plays through the whistle to put Chesson on his back

|Braden got beat on that play
Clark went around him, but you can't expect Braden to win every one of those battles. Devin still had ~3 secs to make a throw and he didn't; he's got to get rid of the ball quicker. The OL is still young and we are not going to be a team where the QB can just sit back, have s'mores around a campfire, and casually throw to his 5th option. I don't think Nuss is happy with the protection on that play (unless it was intended), but he wants Devin to speed up his progression, too.

Total points scored in regulation against MSU for the other Legends teams, 2011-2013

|Weird shit happens
After not getting in a car accident for 14 years, I got in 2 in 3 days this week (neither were my fault). I pondered whether the first accident caused me to be tentative, drive differently, and get in the second one, but there was nothing different with how I drove. Sometimes people are going to rear-end you while they're on their cell phone or run a blinking red to your blinking yellow and plow right into you and there's nothing you can do about it.
Things you think are impossibly rare actually happen fairly often, you probably just don't notice it. Another example is a very geeky one from probably 9 years ago. I used to play World of Warcraft, and there used to be a talent for warriors called sword specialization. This ability gave you a 5% chance to get an extra swing (double damage). That extra swing could also chain into another 5% chance to get a third swing, and so on. A friend of mine once had this chain 6 times for 7x damage. That's 1 chance in 64 million.
It was a moment like the scene from Pulp Fiction where the guy missed all six shots from close range and Jules thought it was divine intervention. I told him that God didn't make your sword swing 7 times, it's just really rare, and of the billions of sword swings that happen in that game any given day, I'm sure it happened probably 100 times a day, but the people didn't care; they probably just said "whoa, that's a lot of damage" and never bothered look in their combat log to realize what happened.

|I had a moment like that growing up
My dad used to race cars as a hobby, so our family was always into racing. Dad took me to the Indy 500 when I was 9, which was 1986. This was when the Indy 500 was a big deal and NASCAR was nothing; Tony George wouldn't permanently fuck up Indy cars until the mid 90s.
Anyway, we went down there for the race, and it's raining. It rains on-and-off all day and the race gets postponed. We spend the night and it rains all day Monday (Memorial Day) as well, and we have to go home so I can go to school on Tuesday, probably never seeing the race as it would probably be run during the week. The powers that be decided that they weren't going to run during the week and they were going to postpone the race until the next weekend. Hurray! We still get a chance to see the race. I was so happy.
We go down to Indy for the second time, and race day is beautiful. Tom Sneva crashed on the pace lap. I was a HUGE Rick Mears fan and desperately wanted him to win. When you're at that age, fandom has no rationality. I don't know why I wanted Rick Mears to win, he could have been a serial killer for all I knew. I never met the guy. But Rick Mears winning was the most important thing in my entire life at that exact moment. He led with about 14 laps to go, and I almost pissed myself I was so excited. He got passed by both Bobby Rahal and Kevin Cogan in one lap, though, and ended up finishing 3rd. I was devastated and had a very similar reaction to the Brazilian soccer kid.

|It's tough to lose a parent at a young-ish age
My dad passed away of a heart attack in 2004. He was 65 and I was 27. His passing was especially shocking because I'd just seen the guy 4 days previous for Mother's Day. My dad was a tough man and difficult to please, and for most of my childhood acted more like a demanding boss instead of a dad. It wasn't until I started getting older that I began to understand the guy better, and when I started working full time and bought my first house, I could tell he was really proud of me and just smiled a lot more every time I saw him. We were on more even terms and could connect with each other a lot better; we would talk about lawn care, fixing stuff, or corporate politics/bullshit. Things that college kids don't talk about. Unfortunately, that time was fleeting and only lasted about a year. It was a great loss and I'd lost both a parent and a mentor.
I know it's a difficult time and you have my sympathy.

|Haha, the soccer ball physics are fantastic

|Makes sense
I can imagine it being very difficult to execute that volley (I couldn't do it in a hundred tries, I know that much), and it did have certain things going for it in that it was basically served up on a platter for him and he was in a perfect position to put power behind it and place it where he wanted to. It just surprises me that there aren't "volley specialists" or something along those lines that can execute that more regularly; it was an incredibly efficient move that the defense had no way to respond to, which makes it seem like the ideal form of attack.
|10 weeks 5 days ago
|So I just saw the Cahill goal
Not a soccer person, but I always wonder why more players don't hit balls on the fly like that. You see so many wait for it to hit the ground and then fart around with touches, and by that time the defense closes on them and it's over -- is that volley just really hard to do? In my limited viewing, it's very rare for someone to do that.

Amber Valetta stars as Angie in Gamer this Friday, but you may better recognize her as the machine gun-wielding killer in the very impractical outfit from Transporter 2. Pink lingerie, stilettos, and gobs of black eyeliner to blow someone's head off? It doesn't seem like the most accommodating attire, but then again, she might be using the sight of dewy side-boob to stun her victims before riddling them with hollow points. Apparently she plays the mom… Oopsies! A word from Amber: "I'm from Oklahoma!"And Rogers & Hammerstein give each other a posthumous fist bump, as their plan to turn the Sooner state's name into an expletive gets one celebrity closer to reality. Check out the Mother-Oklahomin' photos of Amber after the jump.

The new trailer for Scott Mann's THE TOURNAMENT hit today and we couldn't be more excited about it. The plot is simple: every seven years, in a small town, a tournament to determine the world's #1 assassin takes place. Believable? Nope. Awesome? Eff yes. If the trailer is a true indication of the tone of the movie, it's going to be, as ScreenJunkie Wookie Johnson put it, "SMOKIN' ACES without the gimmicks." You have to admit it's a virtual who's who of badasses all crammed into one actio flick: Marcellus Wallace from PULP FICTION? Check.

Despite the shortcomings of Halloween 2 at the box office this past weekend, Bob Weinstein has announced that Michael Myers will be back to hacking and slashing next summer will another sequel… in jaw-dropping 3-D. Weinstein noted that Rob Zombie won't be back this time around as they are going in a new direction with a director 'who has experience with horror'. Negotiations are happening now so the director could not be named. Let's start speculating. Alexander Aja or Neil Marshall would be interesting choices. Or perhaps John Carpenter would return to the franchise. Oh wait. This is a schlocky sequel that is unlikely to have anything going for it beyond it's gimmicky 3-D presentation.

If you can't tell by the way she commands your attention in the above pic, Shantel VanSanten started out as a model. She's also done a couple of guest spots in TV shows, but this Friday she can be seen in The Final Destination, where her character Lori Milligan is sure to die. Come on, we all know it's going to happen. She's hot and she's not the lead actress. That means her character is as dead as glamrock, and when the sh*t goes down it's going to go down in glorious 3-D. A word from Shantel: "I am not a fan of horror films." Ummmmm… Eeeeesh… We're not quite sure how to tell you this, Shantel… But, you're starring in a horror movie this weekend. You know what, nevermind. We don't want to ruin the surprise.

Today we have two heavyweights of horror squaring off at the box office. Rob Zombie is back with another gritty entry of his HALLOWEEN II re-imagining. And Death returns with another grisly, innards-spilling adventure in THE FINAL DESTINATION. Both of these splatter fests are vying for your vote this weekend. But which will you vote for with your hard-earned dollars? The gentleman from Haddonfield or the old lion of mortality? The race has grown pretty ugly and to help you decide, we have smears ads from both candidates. Check them out and remember to vote at the multiplex. You can be the change that you want to see in the world.. First up, Michael Myers…

The new posters for Roland Emmerich's 2012 have been released by Sony and they are almost completely over-the-top. In addition to the Christ the Redeemer statue belly-flopping on Corcovado, another features a massive tidal wave dropping the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy on the White House (I'm hoping for a third where Mayans give us the finger). This really looks like more of the same from Emmerich; a man who has made a career out of destroying landmarks. Watch your back, Liberty Bell. (/Film) These links have an 80% chance of precipitation… George Clooney Stares at Goats in new trailer. (Cinema Blend)Rob Zombie to dirty up The Blob.

If INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS can toy with Hitler history, then so can YouTuber "GhostsAndAliens," whose Fuhrer-riffic mash-up of DOWNFALL features Adolph's less than indifferent reaction to the news that the general population of movie fandom was more than indifferent about the AVATAR footage shown thus far.

Krista Allen has been hot for a very long period of time, and continues to be hot. Maybe that's why she's playing "MILF/Samantha" in The Final Destination opening this Friday. We've seen Krista from all different kinds of angles, but we've NEVER seen her in 3D. Something tells us it could be the best use of a film medium that Avatar claims to have on lockdown. A word from Krista: "At a pool party, with everybody around, a guy and I had sex in the pool, but nobody knew it." Well Krista, we've got some news for you. Dustin Diamond was at that pool party, watching you, masturbating in the hot tub, and no one knew it (except us). Dustin doesn't have that moment anymore, but he does have hot pics of you after the jump!

CHUD has alerted us to a video that may or may not be viral marketing for Cloverfield 2. For the most part, everyone is leaning toward not. As far as anyone knows, Matt Reeves is the intended director and he's got his hands full currently with his adaptation of Let The Right One In. So if this isn't a viral tease from the studio it must be fan-made. Which is notable considering the film came out over two years ago to mixed reviews. Yet some piece of it must have stayed with all of us because here we are speculating. Check out the video below.Wait a second… the voice in this video is clearly speaking Japanese. And we see a tricerotops fountain intercut with seemingly-unconnected flashes of a baby and what could be a giant monster. It all makes sense now. This is obviously a Japanese advertisement for soap. Stranger ads have come out of that country in the past. These links would never tease you… International poster for Jennifer's Body makes fine use of airbrush (Latino Review) Armored trailer lookin' good (Empire) New Avatars revealed (Cinematical) 'Rampage' Jackson will take no pity on fools.

Navarre Storm damage
NAVARRE -- The line of thunderstorms that moved through the area caused some damage.
In Santa Rosa County the storm blew off part of the roof of a shopping center in Navarre.
Some of the people here say they felt the building shaking then all of a sudden the roof crashed into the parking lot damaging several cars along the way.
Store employees and their customers at Sound Plaza in Navarre were in disbelief of the storm damage.
Rebecca Sands works at Pet Stylers.
Just as the winds picked up the roof came off of the building and the dogs started barking and whining"
Next door the owner of Head to Toe Saloon.
Cathy Parnell
"I was sitting at my desk & it was just quiet and we were talking about the weather and the windows just bowed all in and I ran to the door and grabbed the door to lock it then all the roof started falling"
Strong winds from the storm blew part of the roof off the shopping plaza.
Several pieces of the roof that blew into the parking lot smashed into the windows of parked cars.
"It's pretty crazy, it was very sudden and I didn't expect any of it"
People did what they could to protect what was inside their vehicles covering them with tarp.
Meanwhile over on Navarre Beach, the storm's wrath continued.
The wind knocked over this trailer.
Clean-up crews picked up what was left after a couple of lifeguard towers ripped apart.
Back at the shopping plaza, crews had their work cut out for them as they cleaned up prices of tarp, boards and plywood from the parking lot.
"It's scary, I'm just glad everybody is safe"
In a matter of hours, the debris was cleaned up.
Luckily no was one hurt..

Hotel was okay. Housekeeping needs to do a better job on over all room cleanliness. The basics were clean but the fine details needed some attention. Breakfast area was clean and nice. Location and Lobby was excellent.

This ternary (triangular) diagram is the first step in properly classifying the gabbroic rocks. We see that a rock with over 90 percent plagioclase isn't a gabbroic rock but rather is anorthosite. Likewise, a rock with less than 10 percent plagioclase is ultramafic and has its own set of ternary diagrams. In between these limits, the amount of plagioclase pretty much directly determines the overall rock color, ranging between near-white and near-black (with greenish or brownish tinges). Whatever rock name we eventually end up with, this overall color range allows us to add the prefix mela- (for dark) or leuco- (for light) to that name.
If olivine is present among the dark minerals, then its percentage needs to be figured out separately from the pyroxenes and amphiboles (conventionally called hornblende). If olivine is all there is besides plagioclase (95% or more of the dark minerals), then the rock is troctolite. If there's almost no olivine, then we move on to the next ternary diagram, which separates pyroxene from hornblende against plagioclase to distinguish three rock names: gabbro, gabbronorite and norite. If there's an appreciable amount of olivine, that doesn't determine the rock name but requires us to add "olivine" to the rock name that applies.
