I ordered some of the Whey Protein in banana, strawberry cream, and vanilla flavours. I also ordered a sample of chocolate nut, and banoffee (I adore anything banoffee flavoured, but didn't want to order a whole pouch due to the bad reviews). Well, the banana is by far my favourite! Absolutely delicious, and tastes just like banana milkshake when mixed with skimmed milk. The strawberry cream is also nice, but a little too sweet for me, so I think I'll use this one in smoothies instead of alone. I have been using the vanilla flavour as coffee creamer in my morning coffee, but found I have to mix it with a little bit of milk first. It doesn't like to be mixed straight into a hot liquid, it just goes lumpy and gross! However, once it's mixed smooth with milk and then added to coffee, it's very delicious, and sweet enough that I don't need to add any more sugar or sweetener. However, I'm glad I didn't order a whole pouch of the banoffee or the chocolate nut as both really weren't to my taste. I find that both flavours have a strange, powdery aftertaste that I find pretty gross. I'm definitely gong to be ordering the banana flavour again because it's delicious and helps me up my protein intake in a yummy tasting shake!Goes Well With:Lactofree Skimmed Milk
Tastes great mixes well and great value for money
I love MyProtein Proteins there are so many taste which you can choose. I just purchased Rhubarb and Custard and I love this flavour.
I choose the vanilla flavour which has a great taste. The 250g bags were on offer in January so it made perfect sense to try something a little different from my normal brand of whey protein. I have to admit has made my mind up and will be buying a 1kg bag of this product as it is great value for money. I think the measuring jug is an irrelevant weight as the bag informs you to use a dosage of 20 - 40 per serving and the jug is 70ml. I also think the recommended dosage is slightly lower than I am used to but each to their own.Goes Well With:Water
Since i got this product for free it's great. I rate taste 3 stars, because it's unflavoured one, othervise it awsome taste.
Does what it says on the tin, bought this instead of a regular sample pack simply for more servings and was on offer so cheaper than a sample. Great product as always and good flavour.
By far one of the best whey protein powders available. Not only does it mix with ease but tastes great aswell. I have tried a variety of flavours and not been disappointed. Even used the plain to mix in with foods and to cook with. Simple and effective.
Good protein, nice taste and better price
Excellent product, mixes well and tastes great. Would recommend to others.
Fantastic customer and delivery service, played it safe and went for vanilla but the product tastes great and mixes fine. Would highly recommend
Great product cant fault it goes well with milk or water started seeing results after about a month i will always buy impact whey protein banana and vanilla taste great
Initially I ordered the Vanilla and Banana flavours. I love both! My previous experience with a Vanilla whey from another brand wasn't anywhere near as good as this! It mixes easily in a shaker with both water and milks (i've tried almond milk and coconut milk, both great) plus it blends up beautifully when making smoothies! I've put it in porridge many times, great (just remember to mix with a little yogurt or liquid before stirring in would be my only advice). It's also great simply mixed with yogurt and topped with fruit, or as proyo! Already ordered my next batch :)Goes Well With:Oat Milk, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, Natural Yogurt, Greek Yogurt, Greek-Style Yogurt, Porridge...
This is a very good quality product for a very good price. It does exactly as says on the product details and i would highly advise anyone to purchase it. It tastes great too!
This is a very good quality product for a very good price. It does exactly as says on the product details and i would highly ref
I've wanted to try the choc mint flavour for a while so when I found an offer for a free bag of this amount, there was only one flavour I wanted to try - choc mint - and I truly wasn't disappointed. I mix my powder with half whole milk and half water so this to me, tasted exactly like an after eight dinner mint - it was gorgeous, I have also tried this with just water and it's not to my taste, it's very watery and the flavour isn't as prominent as it is when you mix with milk.The mixability as always was great, it mixed in the myprotein blender perfectly. I will definitely be getting this in a bigger bag because it really is delicious. Goes Well With:Half milk, half water.
I recently recieved my order of myprotein impact whey and I was not disapointed. I ordered the chocolate smooth flavour and will certainly be ordering it again. It really does make a change when ordering a whey proteiin product that the flavour actually tastes as it should/as you would expect. The mixability of this product is fantastic, just a couple of vigerous shakes and it is mixed, my advise would be to measure out your water before hand and chill it.
I managed to get a deal to get this protein for free with a 1kg purchase. I was amazed at how much I got. I went for Vanilla, was a great choice. This is a very strong flavour and mixes really well. Great product overall.Goes Well With:Milk/water.
It's too early to make any claims on how effective impact whey protein is but in the two weeks I've been using it ( along with a few other MP products ) i have noticed some small gains in size, but also feel better the morning after a workout. The mixability is fine with milk and tastes good too. Will be buying a larger pouch next time.Goes Well With:Exercise and rest!
Good quality product that tastes great and seems to be working so far, first time using any whey protein after advice from local gym. First purchase included a 250g Chooclate milk which has lasted well, chocolate caramel next, along with a free strawberry sample which certainly helped to convince me to buy the flavour in the future. Would recommend to anyone.Goes Well With:Milk
Decided to try this flavour just for a variety of flavours. I'm not a big fan of chocolate flavoured products as I much prefer chocolate!! However this flavour is beautiful. It has the right mix of both flavours. It reminds me of Aero when drinking it. I made it up in both the shaker and blender. In the shaker it mixed well with no powdery lumps. It has a great flavour and I would certainly buy again on in a larger bag. Goes Well With:Milk or water. Or in greek yoghurt. I warmed it and had as a hot chocolate too!
Taste great, if your a fan of mint chocolate then its definitely the product for you goes down very well and mixes incredibly no need for a shaker cup just a glass and a spoon, such a rich taste of mint , prefect mixed with a frozen banana and milk taste just as good with water.Goes Well With:Banana,ice,strawberries,milk,water,
First time in over a year I've used protein as I'm looking to step up my training. Felt and seen improvements within a week of using this product mixed with an overall high protein diet. Sometimes it doesn't mix brilliantly but that's probably more user error than anything else! Always find myprotein products to be top quality.
Excellent product, mixes really well with both milk and water, most flavours taste fantastic - my personal favourites are Choc coconut, Mint choc, Vanilla & Strawberry cream. Choc coconut tastes like aero bubbles, choc mint is refreshing, vanilla is easy to live with and strawberry is sweet but great after a heavy session. Effectiveness - feels like any other good quality protein, however would like to try for a longer period of time. Goes Well With:Milk or Water.
I purchased a small pouch of banana flavoured impact whey and it tasted great, mixed well and was a very reasonable price. It was palatable with water but much better with milk. Tasted similar to foam banana sweets which I liked. Will definitely be buying impact whey again when I run out
Great taste, mixes well with both milk and water, would highly recommend to anyone.
Yes, this is an egg product. Yes, it smells like eggs. Does it taste like eggs? No, not if incorporated into another flavourful food. Remember that if you are offended b the smell, any flavourings and other additives decease the value of what is a naturally nutritious product. The protein content per gram is fantastic for the ratio of calories and sugar. I have mine at breakfast 20g powder with 35g oats and 150g frozen mixed berries, cooked in water. I just mix it in after cooking. I also have 20g powder with 80g blended berries and 125ml almond milk. I am not very active currently due to injury which is why I have a reduced portion size. It's an easy way to boost protein consumption with fewer of the scary ingredients in other protein powders.Goes Well With:Cooked oats and berries
Impact Whey Protein mixes well. Got this while it was on offer but not sure I would pay the premium.
best proteinstore I ever used. All products came fast in neat packages. Highly recommended!
Excellent service, arrived in less than 24 hours after ordering. Fantastic value for money for 80% protein.
The best whey for baking and shakes. Couldn't be better
The banana flavour is soo nice, I would drink it all day if I could. It mixes very well and quickly, you do not need to shake it a lot at all. Very good quality protein and after just 2 weeks, you start to see results. I will definitely buy a much larger pouch of the same stuff soon.Goes Well With:Gym
First time ive used protien in a decade, still not keen, but thats a personal taste thing, mixes really well, better than the bad old days when we had to use a blender! X
This product is great... Does what is days on the tin. .. great taste mixes well plus goes well with instant oats, I will by this whey again.Goes Well With:Instant oats
Really good protein, easy to mix and tastes good even though it was unflavoured. Mixes well although make sure the water/milk isn't too cold or else it is more difficult. Will definitely be buying this again. Good for the price. Has provided good gains for me through training.Goes Well With:Milk, Water, straight after exercise
Not a bad flavour and it mixes really well. Good as a before and after training session shake.
Let me start by saying the product is amazing but I prefer to buy the unflavored version because: -I prefer the taste of raw coco powder -You get more for your money But if you like the taste and like to have a premixed finished product go for it :)Goes Well With:Milk
I was looking for a protein that was reasonably priced, yet effective...and this was it! I opted for the vanilla, which is lovely. Rather sweet, but I'm accustomed to that. I not only enjoy a scoop in my porridge in the morning, but have a shake in between my crossfit and pole fitness classes to keep me full. My recovery time has significantly reduced since taking this protein and my energy level has increased. Bring on the PBs!!Goes Well With:(Surprisingly - Exceed: Berry Blast pre work-out) - tastes like yoghurt and fresh winter berries!
Probably the nicest flavour ive had so far [had a fair few from MP] mixes and tastes nice with my breakfast which consists of 2x weetabix a scoop of MP instant oats & a scoop of MP oatbran, and even a spoonful of MP peanut butter if i fancy it ha! anyway im stopping writing this review now because its making me hungry....arhhhhhhhhGoes Well With:the above ingriedents
Quick to arrive, great resealable packaging, and tastes good!Goes Well With:Pancakes
I've purchased the vanilla flavour and the banana flavour. Mixed with milk it tastes just like a vanilla / banana milkshake. It mixes well with the shaker bottle. Since using this I've noticed my muscles recover quicker and my muscles ache less afterwards. I'd recommend it to everyone.Goes Well With:Full fat organic milk, coconut water
I've tried a couple of different flavours now the most recent being the cookies and cream which is quite nice but tastes more like vanilla to me but as I say its quite nice over the top of my breakfast or as a 'milkshake'... so I'm not worried. I still like smooth choc the best but might try another flavour next as well.Goes Well With:Skimmed milk 2x weetabix,scoop of MP instant oats, & scoop MP Oatbran!
Best whey protein I have try. I really like the banana taste and will buy it again. The protein powder is also good to cook with.
Nice product. Keeps you full and it tastes nice. Goes Well With:Milk
I purchased the banana flavour Impact Whey Protein. It tasted like a childhood milkshake flavour. It didn't go lumpy and is easy to mix, with a pleasant feel in the mouth.
I love the chocolate mint Impact Whey Protein! It is deliciously delicious! It has a great amino acid profile made with great quality.Goes Well With:Oats, pancake, cereal, milk, juices, pie, cake and many more things. You just have to be creative.
Bought this impact whey as I was looking to change from my previous supplier. Mixed really well, absolutely no lumps and nice smooth and thick texture (I use 2 scoops per 250ml of water) Went for vanilla and toffee flavour and love them both. Vanilla tastes especially good when chilled in the fridge for a while. Great product, would recommend. Helps me hit my macros when I can't stomach any more solid food and quick and convenient after a work out!
I have tried loads of different proteins and this is definitely the best I have come across. Great value for money, quality and taste! The chocolate mint and strawberry cream are amazing!Goes Well With:Instant oats, dextrose, creatine.
This is a great value for money protein. It has a good balance of protein, carbs and fat. The vanilla mixes easy and it tastes good. I recommend every time.
Tastes greats, mixes best of all the proteins I've tried, I won't name names though, don't think I am allowed. But as I said mixes perfect and great after a work out, in the morning or snack if you can't get enough of it. Well recommended, you won't be disappointed.Goes Well With:depends of the flavor I'd think. its perfect on it own anyway, so if it aint broke...dont fix it.
Very good product and a really good price. Does what it's supposed to do it tastes nice. Only problem is that you have to shake occasionally between drinking as lumps can start to come up. Other than that really good product and well worth the money will buy it again.Goes Well With:Impact whey protein

Christine Tschuna - What to do if you don't get paid – letters of demand
Christine Tschuna is an Wirangu artist with the Ceduna Arts and Cultural Centre. In June 2006 she signed a Licence Reproduction Agreement with a company with produces postcards and tourist memorabilia. After the company stopped returning her calls or emails Christine turned to Artists in the Black for assistance. Arts Law pro bono lawyer Robert Lempens of Camatta Lempens in Adelaide offered to help Christine.
Ninuku Arts - Selling works on consignment: chasing payment and negotiating a settlement
Ninuku Arts entered into a consignment agreement with an Adelaide gallery for the sale of 29 artworks by 19 of its artists. Ninuku Arts made many requests for payment for the 6 outstanding paintings, but no response was received. Artists in the Black turned to its long time supporters DLA Phillips Fox in Adelaide (now Fox Tucker Lawyers) for pro bono assistance.
Papunya Tjupi Arts Centre: recovering artists' money when a gallery goes bust!
Most visual artists work towards an exhibition at a gallery which takes their work on consignment and tries to sell it on behalf of the artist. The work remains the property of the artist until it's sold when the gallery takes its commission and pays the rest to the artist. This can work well unless the gallery encounters financial difficulties and goes bankrupt before the artist has been paid.

Oscar Fright.....on many levels
Another Oscar telecast is history, and while I didn't hate it as much as DJB did, I still long for the days when Billy Crystal was the host. James Franco and Anne Hathaway did an "okay" job, but I really didn't have to see James Franco dressed up as Marilyn Monroe. Yikes!
There were no real surprises in who won the big awards: "The King's Speech" won Best Picture, Colin Firth won Best Actor, Natalie Portman won Best Actress, Christian Bale won Best Supporting Actor and Melissa Leo won Best Supporting Actress. Melissa Leo's acceptance speech was a surprise, however, when she let a very naughty word slip out when she was caught up in the moment. There's been all sorts of backlash about it on the Internet today, but I'd like to see what those people would do if they had just won a huge award and were 'out-of-their-mind' nervous on stage at the Kodak Theatre and on television with millions of people watching.
I'm still reeling from Kirk Douglas' appearance to hand out the Best Supporting Actress award. Why was he doing that? Was last year's Supporting Actor winner, Christoph Walz unavailable? Either way, I just thought it was sad and uncomfortable to watch...... until Kirk Douglas made some really creepy comments, that is. Our listener, Theresa Julian wrote this email about it:
"Diane & Denis Jon - I agree with your assessment of having Kirk Douglas present last night. I would like to think the Academy offered him this opportunity to honor his achievements in film, as he did receive a standing ovation upon his arrival. He could have brought honor to both himself and his family by being a class act. The audience would have been as patient with him as they were with Christopher Reeve. However, he was anything but honorable. He was insulting and presented more of a "dirty old man" persona than that of a prolific, award-winning actor. I was both disgusted and disappointed."
Now, you can't have an Oscar re-cap without talking about the fashions! Here are my picks for the best and worst of the night.
Best-- Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.
Worst--Cate Blanchett, Sharon Stone (Bride of Frankenstein or Bride of Chucky, couldn't decide) and Nicole Kidman.
The "Oscar Fright" Award goes to Melissa Leo (her acceptance speech was bleeped and her dress should've been too)!
The winners of the "I Left My Blowdryer At Home" Award goes to both Scarlett Johansen (did Ryan take it in the divorce settlement?) and Marissa Tomei (love her, just not a fan of the "rats nest" hairdo she was sporting on the Red Carpet.
All in all, I thought it was a pretty weak broadcast, but I'm thankful for one thing.....no Rob Lowe "singing" with Snow White!! That scarred me for life!

The Daily Quest: A bit of intellectual discussion
WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Let's take a break from all the patch 4.3 commentary. Well ... sort of. Today I've got three very different sort of posts from around the blogosphere that talk about an assortment of subjects. While two discuss 4.3 in a roundabout kind of way, the third is a long look into the nature of corruption and the various corruption-themed story arcs in WoW. All three are pretty insightful, that's for certain!
- Sheep the Diamond discusses the nature of time travel in fiction, particularly in WoW.
- Herding Cats talks about the fine line between too easy and too difficult when it comes to heroics.
- Parallel Context takes a look at the Burning Legion and the cycle of corruption in WoW.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

Former Salisbury Mayor and current Salisbury City Council member Susan Kluttz has resigned her post on the Salisbury City Council. The announcement was made Thursday by Mayor Paul Woodson during the Salisbury City Council meeting. Kluttz, Salisbury's longest-serving mayor, has been tapped by Gov.-elect Pat McCrory to serve in his state cabinet.
Salisbury City Council has chosen local architect Karen Alexander to replace Kluttz.
According to a Salisbury Post report, City Council members revealed they have been discussing Kluttz's presumed departure for weeks, as well as candidates for her possible replacement.
The Post says Council members did not meet as a group, which would have violated state law. Mayor Paul Woodson said he has been in contact with council members individually to discuss the issue and personally interviewed three finalists — Alexander, former City Council member Mark Lewis and Rip Kersey, runner-up in the 2011 election.
Woodson said Alexander's knowledge and experience as chairwoman of the Salisbury Planning Board and the way she handled a controversy over a new Waffle House restaurant gave her the edge. He also said he wanted to appoint another woman to the City Council, and that other council members also preferred a woman.
Council also chose Maggie Blackwell, the third-highest vote-getter in the 2011 election, as the new mayor pro tem.

Hi Guys!
Myself (Dokiius), Mesmerize and Sahtyre`, are looking for a couple players who we could scrim with and potentially look into participating in tournaments online and offline.
We're hoping to look for UK based players as it will be easier to communicate and possibly meet up for lans.
We don't expect a professional level of Dota straight away as we're not at that level either; however, we'd like to play with people who have a full understanding of how the game works and how to play in a scrim match style, rather than a public game mentality.
If you're interested in playing with us, add me on steam: smcskyda (Dokiius).
Thanks for reading hope to hear from you.

Are We Close to Getting a Real-Life RoboCop?
Features By Kevin Carr on September 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThere's nothing quite like the autumn when the cooler weather allows you to open your windows and enjoy the fresh night air. And nothing serves as a buzzkill than hearing sirens or gunshots in the distance. Even as society has grown and people feel they've become more enlightened, crime is still a big problem. Sure, not every place is like Detroit in films like Beverly Hills Cop and RoboCop – or like Detroit in present day, for that matter. However, with crime still running rampant in some areas, it's enough to keep one awake at night (especially if you keep hearing those sirens and gunshots in the night air). Everyone wants to do something about crime, but it's not like we really want someone to turn into a maverick cop like Sylvester Stallone in Cobra. In reality, you'd want a super cop to actually care about civil liberties, laws, and individual rights. Though it's a really violent film, the title character in Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop at least attempts to serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law. It helps that these prime directives were hard-wired into his programming. And that got me thinking: Is the world ready for a real-life RoboCop?
Recycling the Reagan Era: Remakes and Hollywood's Eternal '80s
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on February 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentFew years in the history of recent Hollywood have gone by without a sizable pile of '80s remakes. Typically, those remakes are at least somewhat spread out. But this Valentine's Day weekend greeted us with a grand total of three remakes, all bearing (with the exception of a conspicuously absent ellipsis) the titles of their predecessors: RoboCop (original: 1987), About Last Night (original: 1986), and Endless Love (original: 1981). So many '80s clones haven't opened wide the same weekend in two and a half years, when Footloose 2.0 battled the prequel to re-re-make of The Thing. Recycling the '80s is hardly exclusive to cinema. Indie and mainstream pop have been revisiting the era of New Wave and post-punk for years. Sometimes this results in uncanny synergy, like two singles from the past few months referencing the opening sequence of The Hunger. And, of course, in the political sphere the '80s are ever present, as the exponential concentration of wealth to the very rich have forced a public conversation rethinking Reaganism and neoliberal economics. Few films used popular culture as a platform for exploring this political climate quite like RoboCop and About Last Night. So rather than taking to task whether these remakes are "worthy" or "necessary" or not (is any?), I'd rather mine how the subtle differences between these revisitations and their originals betray our complicated relationship to the era of "Just Say No" and "Where's the Beef?". Perhaps we keep recycling the '80s because that decade in particular, invited […]
30 Things We Learned from the 'RoboCop' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on February 6, 2014 | Comments (2)With the RoboCop remake hitting theaters next week and the recent 4K remastered Blu-ray release of the original film, it's a good time to look back at the story's humble beginning. While 1987's RoboCop launched two lame sequels and a terrible television series, the original was a gas-station-explodingly fun excursion into 80s action excess. A few years ago, MGM released a Blu-ray set of the three films, but the RoboCop disc had no special features. These have been resurrected from the old DVD release and encoded on the new 4K remastered version, including the commentary by the filmmakers. It's been a few years since this commentary track was recorded, but it still gives a nice retrospective of this action classic, including a look at why the film wouldn't have made it through the MPAA and studio process now. So whether the remake is good or bad, we will still have the original RoboCop in all of its violent glory. On to the commentary…
NYFF: Is 'Passion' Poised to Eclipse The Camp Classic 'Showgirls'?
Features By Caitlin Hughes on October 3, 2012 | Comments (1)Brian De Palma's Passion, as alluded to in this review, teeters on a level of badness that, in turn, becomes camp. This female-vs.-female rivalry film with strong Sapphic overtones and a constant back and forth of ludicrous backstabbing can't help but draw comparisons to Paul Verhoeven's "epic," Showgirls. Without revealing too many spoilers, below is a list of categories with which to pit the two films against each other in a brutal cat fight. Will the newcomer reach the near-impossible Razzie-winning, midnight screening heights of the Paul Verhoeven disaster? Let's find out with these seven totally scientific, head-to-head category comparisons!
Why a Remade 'RoboCop' is the Right Call
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on September 17, 2012 | Comments (13)As with any movie that people can actively remember that gets remade, there has been plenty of poo-pooing of the recently underway RoboCop reboot. The 1987 classic from Paul Verhoeven set the standard for violence and gave us a kick ass super-cop who didn't mind shooting right after asking you to surrender. I get it – there are plenty of films that shouldn't be remade – true classics. Films like Casablanca or Gone With the Wind. I don't think anyone is looking for another take on Schindler's List or Amistad either. I was a big RoboCop fan. Because my parents were cool, I saw this movie when I was only like five years old. There's still a Polaroid picture of me standing with a dude in a RoboCop costume somewhere from some neat event. I dug Robocop and remaking it is the right call. Say what?
The Originals: 'Judge Dredd' Deserves a Serious Yet Still-Relevant Remake
Features By Christopher Campbell on September 16, 2012 | Comments (3)If ever there was proof remakes are worthwhile, it's the 1995 adaptation of Judge Dredd starring Sylvester Stallone. Neither a critical nor a box office success, the movie would probably be forgotten entirely if it weren't for the fact that it's based on a very popular comic strip. In the UK, anyway. Also, as much as there is to dismiss about the movie, it has some good ideas that aren't necessarily taken from the source material. Basically, it's a movie that could be remolded into a very fine film. That said, the upcoming Dredd 3D doesn't appear to be a remake so much as another attempt to mine a movie out of the character, which made its debut in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. Not even the title is the same. Nevertheless, this isn't simply an umpteenth adaptation of Romeo and Juliet or Anna Karenina. With comic-based movies we think of the franchise. While The Dark Knight is not exactly a remake of the 1989 Batman, there's a tendency for people to be conscious of all movies involving the Caped Crusader, as a unified property. And we can't rightly think about Dredd 3D without considering its predecessor, either. Two and a half years ago, Brian revisited the earlier version with a thorough look at its pros and cons for a Junkfood Cinema column. So, there's no need to redo that, and I don't mean to. What I mean to do is address the movie in the context of its […]
Len Wiseman Goes Epic, Grounded, and Super-Serious with 'Total Recall'
Features By Jack Giroux on August 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDirector Len Wiseman made the 21st Century remake of Total Recall we kind of expected. It's big, flashy, and in modern remake/reboot fashion it's also gritty & grounded. Sure Wiseman nicely packed three-breasted women into his PG-13 picture, but this isn't a movie fit for Kuato, small prostitutes firing off machine guns, and Arnold Schwarzenegger making funny faces. There's little room for comedy in the futuristic world Wiseman has built. Compared to his previous films, it's the biggest sort he's created thus far. With a budget of $125 million — which, as Wiseman points out, has been falsely reported as being $200 million — the director has also made a blockbuster about as big as one can get. That scope isn't what drew the Underworld filmmaker, but the identity crisis at the film's core is. Wiseman set out to make a personal detective tale which happens to be set in a big, futuristic world. Here's what Total Recall director Len Wiseman had to say about not going big for the sake of big, the influence of The Fugitive, and how certain Roland Emmerich classics served as his film school:
Why You Won't See Ethan Hawke, Mars, or Kuato in Len Wiseman's 'Total Recall'
Features By Jack Giroux on August 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLet's get this out of the way – there's quite a bit different about Len Wiseman's remake of Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall. Although the film hasn't exactly been greeted with the most pleasant of critical responses thus far, one thing you can't criticize the film for is being a carbon copy of the 1990 film. Obviously missing is the iconic Kuato and the setting of Mars, but also absent from the film is a widely reported appearance by Ethan Hawke. Although it sounds like Wiseman's remake lost a sizable amount of material in the editing bay – considering there is a 17-minute-longer director's cut in the works – Mars and Kuato never even made it past the script stage. While speaking with Wiseman yesterday, he told us why there is no Mars, no appearance or mention of Kuato, and why you won't see Ethan Hawke's brief role in the theatrical cut:
21 Things We Learned at the 'Total Recall' Junket
Features By Kate Erbland on August 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs the cinematic summer season winds to a close, audiences everywhere will soon get to relive the joy of memory implantation, three-boobed ladies, and governmental double-cross. No, no, it's not The Bourne Legacy (is anyone triple-stacked in that? Let's hope so!), it's Len Wiseman's take on Total Recall. This time around, no one goes to Mars and Ahnuld is nowhere to be found, instead Colin Farrell takes over as the mystified and misplaced everyman Douglas Quaid whose fun-time mind-trip ends up with some seriously unexpected consequences. Last weekend, Beverly Hills' own Four Seasons Hotel played host to scads of press primed to interview the Total Recall crew about such things as what they'd want Rekall to implant in their minds, what it was like working with a married couple, and how the film's lovely lady stars stay so young-looking. Of course, there were also interesting questions asked at the junket, and director Wiseman and his stars Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, and Bryan Cranston answered those, too. And also Cranston talked about Breaking Bad for twenty minutes and we all took it in, starry-eyed. After the break, check out 21 we learned at the Total Recall junket, from how Cranston thinks BB will end, what element of the film stands out as the major difference between it and the original (hint: it's not that the film doesn't go to Mars), what Biel knows about the status of David O. Russell's Nailed, and the special cameo that Wiseman built into the film […]
Lose Your Memory with this 'Total Recall' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on July 31, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Colin Farrell tries to fill Arnold Schwarzenegger's sizeable shoes in the remake of Total Recall. If you're not a fan of Farrell or director Len Wiseman, or if you're just angry about a PG-13 remake of an R-rated film, why not check out Paul Verhoeven's original? Lionsgate releases the new Blu-ray in the "Mind Bending Edition" this week, which basically means a new edition to sell the week of the remake's release. But that shouldn't stop you from visiting a bar in Venusville where you can drink yourself silly while watching this slice of R-rated 90s silliness.
Comic-Con 2012: 'RoboCop' Reveals New Synopsis, Which Pretty Much Sounds Like 'RoboCop'
Comic-Con By Kate Erbland on July 13, 2012 | Comments (1)In Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film, RoboCop, the sci-fi action takes place in a future Detroit, one that is overridden by crime and violence. Mega-corp Omni Consumer Products has been contracted by the city to run their police force and to clean up the city and its many criminals. Part of their initiative involves a cyborg cop program called, you guessed it, RoboCop. When veteran police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) is killed in the line of duty, OCP takes his body and uses it for their very first RoboCop. While successful in his job, the now-eponymous RoboCop is still haunted by memories of his old life as Alex Murphy that he must battle as he also battles crime. Jose Padilha is now remaking RoboCop, set to star Joel Kinnaman and, as is the case with all reboots and remakes and rehashes, this new film begs the question – just how similar will this new film be to the original? Turns out, in the case of RoboCop, pretty damn similar! Over at ComingSoon, they've posted the newest synopsis for the RoboCop reboot (a Robocop-sis?), and it sounds like some very well-tread territory:
Len Wiseman Is Making a Dangerous Mind Trip Out of 'Total Recall'
Features By Jack Giroux on May 4, 2012 | Comments (6)More than a few opinions were changed about the upcoming Total Recall when that trailer hit last month. The big summer sci-fi blockbuster's preview sold an epic scope, the chance to explore a new world, and a fresh take on Philip K. Dick's story. Gone was Mars, the mutants, and a body builder acting like a killing machine. What director Len Wiseman is bringing to the table is more in line with the tone of Dick's short story: serious, heady sci-fi. Wiseman has unquestionably made a film that will contain its fair share of explosions and one-liners, but the mystery of Douglas Quaid is what piqued the Live Free or Die Hard filmmaker's interest the most. "Who am I?" is a quintessential life question, so imagine the stakes of having to answer that while being chased down and shot at. Speaking with Wiseman, the busy director discussed his reliance on practical effects, building an entire world without too many talking heads, and the identity crisis Douglas Quaid faces.
24 Things We Learned From the 'Total Recall' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on April 19, 2012 | Comments (1)It's taken 33 Commentary Commentaries, 33 different movies we've heard all kinds of people from directors to actors to whatever was going on with Cannibal: The Musical, but we've finally gotten to AH-NOLD. That's right. This week we're looking into Total Recall, that mind-melting actioner from 1990 wherein Arnold Schwarzenegger uses a completely innocent bystander as a human shield, loses his memory, and saves just about every mutant living on Mars. He doesn't save the girl with three breasts, though. That probably deserves a spoiler alert. But it's time to hear what Schwarzenegger and director Paul Verhoeven have to say about the whole experience. With the remake headed our way this Summer, we felt it was time to find out everything we could about this modern classic. Maybe this time next year we'll have a Total Recall 2012 commentary from Colin Farrell and Len Wiseman. Wiseman has already offered a commentary for his film's trailer, but there's no way in the world it's going to be as entertaining as listening to Verhoeven and Schwarzenegger. No way. Let's get our asses to Mars, shall we?
'Total Recall' Trailer Now Comes With A Len Wiseman Commentary Track
Movie News By Jack Giroux on April 5, 2012 | Comments (2)It's fair to say the reception for the Total Recall trailer has been positive. Nathan Adams notably went over the moon for it, declaring the visuals "mind-blowing." While that might a bit extreme, the trailer was pretty damn cool, and certainly more impressive than most skeptics were expecting. Now, courtesy of MTV, director Len Wiseman provides a commentary for the trailer, in which he discusses the world of the film, the unique opium den take on Recall, and how that one shot is an all-practical effect.
'Total Recall' Remake Teaser Trailer Touts Full Trailer, Colin Farrell Jumping
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 27, 2012 | Comments (2)This Sunday! There will be a thing on the Internet! That we all might be interested to see! But here is some of it now! The teaser trailer has somewhat recently become quite the en vogue way to heighten anticipation for films – throw up a few splashy title cards, dice in some scenes that could (or could not) be important to the film, bate viewers for the full trailer. It's a fair way to market stuff, and when it works, it really works – like in this teaser trailer for Len Wiseman's take on Total Recall. Wiseman's film is "inspired anew" by Philip K. Dick's short story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," and it stars Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston. While it's hard to get too much of a feel for an entire production from a thirty-second spot that's peppered with reminders to watch for the full trailer this Sunday, Wiseman's film at least looks to be a bit more serious and hardcore than Paul Verhoeven's 1990 film. And, of course, it appears to come complete with Farrell jumping on stuff, like, all the time. The teaser trailer won't make you wish you had three hands, but it will certainly make you want to see more.
The Only Good 'Starship Troopers' Remake is a Dead 'Starship Troopers' Remake
In Development By Nathan Adams on December 2, 2011 | Comments (11)Back in the late 90s, expert director of schlock Paul Verhoeven took a stab at adapting one of legendary sci-fi novelist Robert Heinlein's most popular stories, "Starship Troopers", and the results were something that resembled Heinlein's far-looking, satirical tale less than it did a B-level genre piece that was far more…well, schlocky. Starship Troopers was all about bad acting, big explosions, disgusting amounts of bug goop, and exploitative co-ed naked shower scenes. It may not have been an adaptation with a tone that was true to its source material, but it had its own kind of charm, you know? And since it was just made in the 90s, and it's got special effects that actually hold up pretty well, you wouldn't think there would be any need to revisit the material again. But you would be wrong. Or at least producer Neal Moritz thinks you're wrong. You may have heard Moritz's name before, he's the Sony Pictures bigwig responsible for another recent remake; the upcoming and Colin Farrell-starring Total Recall. The similarities between these two projects are endless. The original Total Recall was also a Paul Verhoeven movie, it was also (very loosely) adapted from a story by a legendary science fiction writer (Philip K. Dick), and it was also something that nobody really thought needed to be remade. That film hasn't hit theaters yet or anything, but Moritz must be really happy with what he's seen of it, because with this new take on Starship Troopers he's pretty clearly […]
José Padilha Talks About His Approach to Remaking 'RoboCop'
In Development By Nathan Adams on September 21, 2011 | Comments (3)News of a RoboCop remake has been bouncing around for literally years, usually with Darren Aronofsky's name attached in some manner. Recently, the plan for the film has been that Aronofsky would serve in a producer's role and José Padilha, helmer of 2007's Elite Squad, would be sitting in the director's chair. Even more recently, Dutch film site Film1 caught up with the director to have a chat about Elite Squad 2, and at the end even managed to get a quote out of him about how his approach to the material will differ from original RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven's. Padilha's comments were posted in some sort of indecipherable moon language, but luckily the gents over at /Film were kind enough to run it through Google translate and have some good old-fashioned English come out the other end. Padilha roughly said, "I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop, and I think that such a film is now urgently needed. But I will not repeat what Verhoeven has done so clearly and strongly. Instead I try to make a film that will address topics that Verhoeven untreated. If you are a man changes into a robot, how do you do that? What is the difference between humans and robots developed? What is free will? What does it mean to lose your free will? Those are the issues that I think." That's kind of vague, but I guess what Padilha is getting at is that his version of RoboCop will focus […]
Paul Verhoeven Wants to Get a New Version of Jesus Christ on Screen
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 25, 2011 | Comments (14)What if Joshua bar Joseph (you know, Jesus) was just a man spreading ideas about loving your neighbor and your enemy alike? What if the claims of transcendence only mask a truth about a young child born from a raped mother who grew up to do radical exorcisms and challenge the political structure? Somewhere along the way, director Paul Verhoeven became fascinated with Christ as an historical figure, and he wrote a book about it called "Jesus of Nazareth" that was published last year. Now, according to Deadline Judea, he's been trying to find financing for a film version. Regarding the project, Verhoeven has said, "If you look at the man, it's clear you have a person who was completely innovative in the field of ethics. My own passion for Jesus came when I started to realize that. It's not about miracles, it's about a new set of ethics, an openness towards the world, which was anathema in a Roman-dominated world. I believe he was crucified because they felt that politically, he was a dangerous person whose following was getting bigger and bigger. Jesus' ideals are about the utopia of human behavior, about how we should treat each other, how we should step into the shoes of our enemy."

But then I fashion that carcass into an unsightly headdress which I then don as an embarrassing testament to my love for said movie.

Greedy industrialists, charged with protecting the common good, are bleeding the place dry. Enter Officer Alex Murphy. He's an honest cop, freshly transferred to the city's anarchic Metro West precinct. He's also one unfortunate cop, savagely cut down the first day on the job. Not to worry.

7 Comics To Read When You Get Home From 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Cinematic Listology By Brian Salisbury on July 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs superhero movies go, few have been as highly anticipated as Christopher Nolan's final outing as captain of the Batman franchise. The Dark Knight Rises received a level of hype and hoopla second only to the superhero Cobb salad that is Joss Whedon's The Avengers, and now, finally, the long-awaited Friday has arrived. So once you see the movie, what happens if your eyeballs remain unquenched of their thirst for Gotham's caped protector? With the future of the franchise uncertain, might we offer the alternative of returning to some of the printed source material from whence it came? I'm no comic book expert, that much is clear any time I speak with the true comic literati. However, Batman is the one character I've read in-depth and he continues to be my favorite hero. While watching The Dark Knight Rises, I became antsy to go home and read some of my favorite stories. Below is a list of Batman comics we highly recommend that you tear into should a similar inclination grip you. Be forewarned: the reason this article is titled as such is that some of these stories will spoil elements that comprise the surprises of Nolan's film. See the movie first, then read…
Discuss: Would You Go On Another 'Vacation' With Chevy Chase?
Features By Scott Beggs on November 19, 2009 | Comments (7)Sometimes I feel like I'm just getting back from Wally World. I'm tired, irritable, and there's an unseasonably high urine count in my sandwiches. But with the news that Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are teaming up for a Superbowl commercial, I have to wonder if we should really be saving up for a real family vacation. Don't get me wrong. I love Superbowl commercials because 1) they are a colossal let down and 2) I'm usually watching the Puppy Bowl instead (after the NFC championship, don't we sort of already know who's going to win the Superbowl?), but I would much rather see that dynamic duo hit the big screen again. I know I'm usually pretty negative toward the lack of creativity that this decade will be marred by, but if we're in for a penny, why not be in for a pound? Let's just sequelize everything. All of it. Some possible downsides to a National Lampoon's Vacation sequel in the here and now: National Lampoon, like the magazine that spawned it, has become one of the least funny producers of The Funny around. With John Hughes gone, who could possibly write it? Year One Some urine-soaked food for thought. What do you think?

Sandra Bullock Hits Big as The Proposal Gets $34 Million
Box Office By John Cairns on June 21, 2009 | Comments (2)Well, it wasn't exactly the biggest blockbuster of the summer but The Proposal did pretty well, all things considered, this weekend.
This week, two heavyweights go toe to toe to discuss a pressing concern. Should Jack Black be stopped? What does that even mean exactly? Are you growing tired of his style of comedy?
With two leads that never mix well together using solid supporting talent as a crutch, this film hobbles along to become one of the more average comedies of all time.

It is a consortium of 57 cities and counties and is designed to convey the important message that no matter where you stand – from Bellingham to Olympia, the Olympic Mountains to the Cascades – the water that falls around you eventually ends up in Puget Sound, carrying whatever is on the ground along with it.
Restore Our Waters is the City of Seattle's commitment to take actions and promote partnerships that protect and improve our creeks, lakes, the Duwamish River, and Puget Sound; and is thus a proud partner in this pursuit
What Is This Storm Drain Marker, and Why Is It Here?
A storm drain is a particularly apt place to see the message Puget Sound Starts Here. There are thousands of storm drains in Seattle that lead directly to our local waterways without receiving any water quality treatment. Anything that is carried into one of these drains, (including the one you've clicked on) – from petroleum to pesticides, and pet waste to car soap – flows through underground pipes and into Lake Union, Lake Washington, the Duwamish River, a local creek and eventually into Puget Sound.
Like a garbage can labeled "Landfill" rather than "Garbage," this marker serves as a reminder that water entering storm drains in our city doesn't just disappear; it goes into the very waters we use recreationally and commercially. To see how what goes into a storm drain affects our waterways, watch a video of a local diver revealing Puget Sound's underwater trash.
Get Involved
If what you've seen and read here excites you, there are many ways you can get involved. What we'd love to encourage first and foremost is that you involve your favorite community group in the installation of anywhere from 10 to 500 of the storm drain markers you found today. This is a pilot project, and Restore Our Waters intends that all of the markers we've so far received will be placed by volunteers. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com today if you are a member of a group or organization that you believe would want to place additional storm drain markers within Seattle.
Learn about more ways to get involved.
Of course, if you're as busy as the rest of us, you can start helping today with something as simple as dedicating yourself to picking up after your pet every time, even in your own backyard. Or, if you don't have a pet, consider taking your car to a car wash next time it needs a shine.

Eileen...have you tried Marilyn's Carrot Cake? It's SO good...: My Best Classic Carrot Cake - DanaIN (Marilyn) 2 cups all-purpose flour Pre-heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, salt and spices together. Beat oil, eggs, sugar and brown sugar at medium speed for 2 minutes or until well blended. Stir in orange juice and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture on lowest speed, just until blended. Stir in carrots and nuts until combines. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool completely before filling and frosting with 1 recipe Cream Cheese Frosting. *You can split the layers and make a four-layer cake but you will need one and one half recipe cream cheese frosting.

I've made Marilyn's carrot cake three times now, and EVERYONE wanted the recipe. Several people commented on how it was THE BEST carrot cake they've ever had! IMO, it is best made the day before like someone had mentioned. |

Linda I made your carrot cake its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!! |
I told ya! It's that extra stuff you pour over it that does it! Gives you that butter/sugar flavor times 2. That recipe came from J. T.'s Cuisine...Julie is a local farm wife that is a good cook....and she started cooking for a few of the Maytag Exec's wives when they would have a big dinner party. If you were having a bunch in for coffee....she would make ( and deliver!) her Butter Bright Rolls. Then the state started to complain so she put in another kitchen complying with all the regulations and started having parties at hr house. She would only serve a minimum of 10 and a maximum of I think 30.....by reservation only lunch or dinner. And she was busier than she wanted to be. She avoided the liquor license by allowing you to bring your own wine and not charging a corkage fee. then she wrote a cook book and it's been a big seller around here!...I guess I need to buy one...but I have most of her special recipes on mimeographed handouts! LOL! Glad you liked her recipe. Linda C |

Thanks Sharon for the frosting recipe! Now I'm also cutting and pasting LindaC's recipe. Darn I wish I hadn't stopped eating cake.....I know these both are delicious. SharonCb |

Linda I made this again for Thanksgiving and the crowd went wild thanks again |
Have been a little disappointed with my T&T carrot cake lately so looking forward to trying some of these. Thanks all. Have also found that the freshness of the carrots makes all the difference and I don't like baby carrots for it. Don't think they have the flavor. |
Just copied Lindac and Marilyn's carrot cake recipes. Re-Marilyn's cake. Sometime I don't want to layer a cake and wonder if anyone has just baked this in a 9X12 cake pan with good results. Lois |
These all sound great. Thanks so much for sharing. ivamae |
Lois, my sister makes my carrot cake recipe often in a 9X13 pan and it's just as good. Marilyn |
Danain, Thanks, I thought it would be okay but its better to have some assurance rather than to have a cake disaster. Lois |

Our Featured Westfield, MA Partner:
White River Animal Rescue - MA
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Westfield, MA 01085 |
Email: Website: http://www.whiteriveranimalrescue.org |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We are a group of committed volunteers who offer temporary foster homes to animals in need. We operate throughout New England and serve mostly dogs and puppies.Please note: WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER.
Our animals are in foster homes throughout Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Appointments are necessary to meet the animals.
About Our Rescue Group:
White River Animal Rescue is a private rescue, not a shelter. We are an ALL_VOLUNTEER, 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving dogs and puppies. WRAR Directors and volunteers do not accept a salary for their services. We provide: Placement and adoption of abandoned dogs and puppies. Vaccination, microchipping, and other necessary veterinary care. All dogs over the age of 4 months are spayed and neutered. WRAR provides financial assistance to those who cannot otherwise afford to spay or neuter their pet.Our Adoption Process:
In order to continue to rescue and re-home all the dogs and puppies that our rescue saves, we need to charge an adoption fee. If you wish to participate in rescuing a dog, please try to understand why we need to charge an adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $450.00. We are a non-profit organization dependent upon these fees and any donations in order to continue our rescue efforts. The adoption fee includes transportation and veterinarian fees.Our application is located on the pet profile page.
WRAR does screen all potential adopters. This means that an application must be submitted for review and a phone interview with the Rescue Director. Both of these requirements must happen before a visit with any of our dogs.
Let's be honest!
We are all busy. Rescue people are VERY busy with this in mind, also understand that your email inquiry is one out of a dozen other inquiries. So in the spirit of friendly customer service keep the following in mind for any inquiry to any rescue:
A question such as: "Could I have more information about (insert dog name here)? Is vague and confounding. "Information" for one person is not the same "information" to someone else.
"Is the puppy housebroken?" Really? If you ask this question please realize that your email is immediately deleted.
"Is the puppy good with kids?" The question should be "Are your children good with puppies?" Humans are responsible for dog behavior. Puppies are not responsible for their behavior. Parents are responsible for their children's behavior around puppies.
