Playing the Courtiers
A Preview of the Characters in The Last Banquet |
The Last Banquet | Published 04 August 2014 |
I'd like to make a toast. To all my loyal subjects in attendance tonight, from the castle servants, to the Trader, to my dear Baroness, whose attendance at this banquet is truly an honor. Thank you for your loyalty in this era of turmoil and civil strife. I am certain that none of you would ever betray me.
–The King
Enter a world of courtly posturing and deadly intrigue in The Last Banquet. In this large-group game for six to twenty-five players, you and your friends take on the roles of royalty, nobles, commoners, and even servants attending a magnificent banquet. Six different scenarios divide the characters into competing factions, which have a different objective in each scenario, from murdering the king or queen, to rescuing the princess from captivity or securing part of a luxurious estate. Will you curry royal favor, or commit treason to ascend to the throne?
Today's preview introduces you to a few of the characters scheming to get ahead at court. You'll learn some of the words and actions you can choose to play, and how status shapes the characters' behaviors. But remember: a kindly demeanor and friendly words do not necessarily indicate good intentions, and servants can be just as crafty as courtiers. In this court, it's best to be careful about who you trust and, above all, who you sit next to at dinner.
Suit the Action to the Word
Every character in The Last Banquet has a set of actions and dialogue that goes with them. The phrases at the top of the card may be used at the start of gameplay to introduce your character or whenever you perform your basic action. The baroness, for example, can make two players switch places with each other, saying, "A good arrangement benefits everyone." Of course, she could mean that sincerely or ironically – it's up to you.
Under the basic rules, you can perform only the basic action. If the more expansive full rules are being used, you have two actions to choose from and a favor action that can perform with the consent of whoever plays the patron. The baroness can either switch places with someone, saying, "I am here to maintain my courtly contacts," or relocate a player belonging to her faction with the words, "You should listen to this person. His ideas could be of great use to us." She can also ask the host to grant her a favor action, saying, "If it please the court, I will hold my tongue until a later hour." If the host agrees, the baroness can then act again at the end of the turn.
You can convey a variety of intents through the given dialogue. The baroness might switch places with someone in order to avoid sitting next to the Princess, or because she wants to convey a secret message to the Baron. Her tone could be businesslike or cloyingly innocent, she could be revealing her true intentions or cleverly trying to mask them.
Status Games
Guests from all rungs of society are attending The Last Banquet, and of course, servants present to make the event run smoothly – though not necessarily smoothly for the royalty. Each character has a specific social status. The royalty are highest on the social ladder, then the nobility. Members of court, although obedient to the king and queen, still have higher status than those who are not part of the court. Lowest status are the independent characters, who tend to have little regard for social stratification and operate without adhering to its rules. But don't be fooled: even characters who seem more occupied with profit or religion than with political drama have vested interests in who sits on the throne.
Your status at court doesn't determine how much power you have. The queen may become the victim of the duchess' gossip, and the king is at the mercy of whoever provides him food and drink. Status is, however, linked to initiative, which affects when a player speaks and whether they ever have to relinquish their seat. Some actions also affect only players of a specific status. The trader, for instance, can pull the royalty and nobility towards him to view his expensive wares. Many actions can't affect royalty at all, so you must often manipulate others to get close to the king and queen.
Power Players
At court every action is political and everyone has influence. The jester and the duchess may not be the king's appointed advisors, but they are as capable of political manipulation as anyone else at court. They may even be better at these dangerous games than the king himself.
The jester uses laughter and folly to create chaos at the banquet table. With the words "all of life is folly" he can cause every member of a faction to close their eyes, spin around, then open their eyes and rush to the first unoccupied spot they can find. You could use this action to save the queens's life, or cause the abbot to lose his share of an estate. The jester's favor action is one of the most powerful in the whole game: choosing two players within the same faction and social status, the jester forces them to switch characters, perhaps transforming the juggler into a wizard, or the gamekeeper into a lady's maid.
Her gossip-mongering may seem frivolous, but the duchess knows how to use words as weapons. If she says, "Tell me the latest gossip," she can draw two players within her faction to her sides, perhaps placing an assassin in between her and the king. Or, she can cleverly ask someone within her faction, "Have you heard the latest rumors?" Then, the Duchess will move next to that player, placing herself in a better position to prevent a royal crisis – or create one.
Have Your Day in Court
All the courtiers and commoners present at The Last Banquet have secret motivations and clever tricks up their lavish sleeves. Whether plotting behind the king's back or openly striving to get ahead, you and your friends will enjoy taking part in this sensational courtly drama. Our next preview will explore some of the scenarios that you can play in The Last Banquet. Prepare to take your place at the royal table!

Participate in palace intrigues and court royal favor in The Last Banquet! In this large-group game for six to twenty-five players, each player takes on the role of a member of the Royal Court and uses the actions and words allowed to try to accomplish their team's agenda, which could mean saving a princess or killing a king.

A guy down the street from my wants to give mt a 40-50 year old Sago Palm. He has a back hoe and will dig it up for me. The thing is, I looked around the net for information about what time of year they can be transplanted safely and read different accounts of it. Some say do it in the growing season, some say do it in while it's dormant. Anyone have any personal experience doing this or know for sure? Thanks for any info. |

You can pot it now. Just make sure that you fertilizer it and cut off some of the leaves (but probably best not to cut them all off unless they all start to yellow). It might not make a new flush of leaves till next spring so make sure it gets good care even during the winter. Good luck! |

I would trim all the bottom fronds off and probably cut off a few of the babies to give it a better apperance. I would plant it in the ground only because it is already pretty huge so it probably has pretty deep roots. Im not sure of the age but its probably between 30-50 years old being closer to 30 if it was grown as a pup and closer to 50 is from seed. |

An off topic reminder about King Sagos (and a few others). I had no idea how toxic they were until a few years ago. Just in case you have a pet that is a chewer and you didn't already know. |

I must say I am not surprised as our BMWs are just pampered with technologies. Anyone ever get a chance to sit inside one of the new 7 series? It makes computers look like a piece of cake to use.
Just the vast amount of technologies available in BMWs from lane collision avoidance, to night vision, to even the new active-hyrbid technologies.
These amenities are just one of the great things about owning a BMW, Kudos to all BMW owners and fans alike!

BimmerBoost is proud to announce it has crossed the 1000 member mark in record time and is now the fastest growing BMW performance forum.
We want to express our thanks to our users and are doing so by giving away $1000. We feel it is more important to build a sense of community by giving back to the members instead of simply dumping money into Google SEO placement like others. We would rather build our base by giving something back to you.
This is just a minor milestone and we understand that. There is a long road ahead and a lot of work to do but so far BimmerBoost has exceeded the expectations of everyone, including us. Thanks to unique content such as the world's only DCT build and N54 single turbo builds BimmerBoost offers BMW performance information that is not available anywhere else and info that is censored from other sites.

The big day is finally here. OE Tuning has announced that finally we have a map switching option for many of the popular German performance vehicles on the market. Many of you know that the S65 for example had to be flash tuned and no tuner on the market had the ability to provide different maps to account for different setups on the fly. That is, no tuner had the ability until today. OE Tuning is the first tuner to have a map switching option for the factory DME E9X M3 among many other models.
So what can EZ flash do? It does not simply provide different maps. Here are the features provided by the product:
- Tuning
- Data Logging
- Map Switching
- DTC Reading
- Code Clearing
- USB connection
- Remote download and upload of maps
- No limitation on the number of tune changes as with traditional flash approaches.
- Easy to use as the name implies
- Competitive Price
- The only product of its kind available for the S65
Ok, I get that this is a big deal for factory DME BMW M3's with the S65, what about other models?
Well, this is not just limited to the E9X M3 even though this product will be making huge waves in that respective market. The product already supports the following models:

BMW confirms the M1 name will be not use for the upcoming Motorsport 1 series. In the an interview with M head Dr. Kay Segler, Auto-News.de was able to confirm the model as well as that the head of M believes the "M1" name should remain on the original M1 supercar.
Dr. Kay Segler goes on to mention that the new 1M or 135 M will be seen as a collector car and potentially something that can appreciate. It will have a short lifecycle of about 1 year and will launch in 2011. Horsepower will be around the 350 mark.
Rumor has it Dr. Kay Segler read the bimmerboost article that about there only being one M1 which led him to making the right decision.

This was originally posted by DLSJ5, putting it up for him as it is excellent info:
Dyno Results vs. Performance Data & Real World Results
I'll admit Dyno's don't mean a whole heck of a lot to me in comparison to real world performance results/Vbox data. I know a lot of FI guys here feel the same way I do, we added FI to simply go faster not to compare dyno charts or other car test guesstimates, while they have their use, they are rather boring in comparison to actually driving the car to see where you stand.
However, over the course of the past several months it seems my Gintani Stage 2+ dyno's have created a lot of questions, at times a bit of drama, along with a few questionable antics, lol. Most had fair questions and let's face it the initial #'s were not stellar, but I feel much of what has taken place was unfair, at times immature, improper and just nasty, but as the cliche' goes "Dyno sheets sell products." So a certain crowd made many attempts to attack my dyno's and me personally, while ignoring the performance results I was getting.
I've noticed in the Dyno Database here that the boost levels and the fuel used on Gintani Supercharged dyno's have been arbitrarily changed or added, while other dyno results, which IMHO are far more questionable, are frankly just accepted/overlooked, why? I believe in some cases those other Gintani #'s have been changed in more ways than one, simply because of my less than stellar results and how they compare and it's highly inappropriate.
My initial dyno of 517WHP was not stellar, fair enough, and when I heard the #'s, I was not excited. I expected more especially when you see other vendors had posted dyno's near 600whp at 6-7psi on pump gas! HOWEVER, after I drove the car, did every Vbox test I could, ran a few comparo's I knew the car was performing much better than that 517whp # indicated, and frankly I didn't care anymore about the initial dyno because real world results were more important to me and I was loving the performance results.
Here's a few reasons why -
1. The very night I picked up my car, the ...by Published on 05-31-2010 05:25 PM
So as some of u may know and some of u may not know, my car was updated with the first BMW SW version created to keep tuners out of tuning the s65 DME, ISTA/P version 37.2. BMW had been working on this newest software for almost a year. Basically found out what tools and how tuners have been tuning the DMEs thus far and made ways that locked out all the tools and procedures used by tuners. Ofcourse I didnt know this I just wanted the latest software in my car so that my I drive could stop freezing.
So after I updated my complete vehicles sw, including DME, i had my car towed to Gintani. They then told me they could not tune the car, that something kept locking them out when writting my tune back to it. I figured it was nothing big and left my car. A week went by and they were still working on it. Another week went by and I started getting scared because Mfest was around the corner, this is when they figured out what was going on and what BMW had done.

Well, the manifold has been completed. This is one bad ass manifold, half of the manifold was welded when on the car, the other half was welded off the car. Here is the final product. Note, the wastegate design we decided to go with is confidential at this time. Just like the exhaust manifold, we will keep it a secret until it is complete.
Yes, the manifold is true equal length. Yes, the manifold is for a twin scroll GT35r. yes, the manifold looks like an octopus. And yes, this manifold will cause nightmares.

We have all seen the spy photos and videos of what is an upcoming BMW Motorsport version of the 1 series. This vehicle will be a great addition to the M lineup as it will be the lightest weight M car available and potentially the greatest drivers car sold by BMW today. The issue with this vehicle being contested by enthusiasts is the potential name of this vehicle. Will they call it the 1M, M1, or 135is? Why is this even a big deal? Well, it is a big deal because what they call it will determine if BMW M has finally completed its downward spiral toward marketing over motorsport.
To understand why the issue generates such poignant responses it is vital for one to understand what "M1" means to BMW enthusiasts. The M1 represents the only mid-engine vehicle BMW has ever produced. Additionally, it represents the first official M-badged car that was for sale to the public. This was the first M sold and the "M1" designation was not chosen by accident. It was done to denote that this vehicle epitomized what M stood for. It was ...

I'm in town on an older natural gas system, so it's not an option for me personally, but I have wondered whether it's possible/advisable/been done to use waste vege oil in a gas heater or boiler?
I've been interested in running a diesel vehicle on WVO but since I can't afford to purchase a diesel vehicle and the supply of wvo in my town is starting to look as if it's spoken for, it may not be an option for me, but I thought I'd post the idea here for readers who may be able to use it... I assume heating oil is some form of diesel, so it should work. I also assume that it would need to be filtered and blended/deacidified like it is for vehicles. The blending (with ethanol I understand, to make ethanol) isn't strictly necessary if you ensure the oil doesn't solidify - I also assume it could be blended with commercial heating oil to keep it liquid. Any thoughts? |

Thank you for being here and for your warm welcome. I know that on the second of every month, at the hour of my beloved Predecessors death, you come together here to commemorate him and to pray for his elevation to the honours of the altars. This prayer supports those working on his Cause, and enriches your hearts with every grace. During his last visit to Poland, John Paul II said to you with regard to the passing of time: We cannot remedy it. There is only one remedy. It is the Lord Jesus. I am the resurrection and the life means notwithstanding old age, notwithstanding death youthfulness is found in God. This is my wish for you: for all the young of Kraków, of Poland, and of the world (17 August 2002). This was his faith, his firm conviction, his witness. And today, despite death, he youthful in God is among us. He invites us to reinvigorate the grace of faith, to be renewed in the Spirit and to put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God, in the uprightness and holiness of the truth (Eph 4:24). I thank you once again for wishing to be with me this evening. Please pass on my greetings and blessing to the members of your families and to your friends. Thank you! Blessing in Latin © Copyright 2006 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana |

I'm looking for this toy as a gift to my dad. This dog, "Bowie", was my favorite toy growing up, and it reminds my dad of when my brother and I were small. He loves Bowie and I would give him mine, but I am extremely attached to it still. Since I don't live at home anymore, I'd love to give him another one as a gift.
Here's a photo of one that a Fabulous Finder had sold in the past -
If anyone could find one for me or point me in the right direction I would be grateful!

The teasing didn't bother Eben. He'd

easy it was to repair, and what good gas mileage it got. He especially liked to
talk about the gas mileage.
Everyone at work got tired of
hearing how many miles per gallon Eben had got on his last trip, everyone, that

even better mileage.

the four men who work in the bleaching department, Eben and Bill and Horace
Slocum, and Bill's sidekick, Burt Bickford. Like the time about two months
after Eben first got the car, Bill asked, "You know what that car of yours
looks like?"
He nudged Burt, who smiled because
he knew something funny was coming.
"It looks like a giant beetle."
Although he had heard the joke at
least a dozen times, Burt broke out laughing.
"Yeah, it looks like a great big
bug," Burt added, adjusting his horn-rimmed glasses on his nose and pushing his
red suspenders up on his shoulders.
Horace scowled and took a sandwich
out of his lunch bucket.
"I'll tell you," Eben answered,
"that car is the finest kind. It's the easiest thing to drive I ever had. I
jest step on the exhilerator, and it goes along as smooth as nawthing at all. I
went to Bangor
last week, and I didn't even have to parallel park. I jest drove right into a
"Not to change the subject," Horace
interrupted, resting his hands on his big belly, "I been watching this new soap
opera when I ain't working on the day shift. I don't usually listen to them
things, but Martha has it on, and I kind of got interested in it."
Bill ignored him and asked Eben,
"What kind of mileage did you get on that trip to Bangor ?"
Horace scowled again, and Eben
answered, "Thirty-two miles to a gallon. That's pretty good, if you ask me."
Burt frowned, trying to comprehend
something. "I never could figure out how you know how many miles you get to a
gallon," he finally said.
"There ain't nawthing to it," Eben
replied, taking a pencil stub and an old pay envelope out of his shirt pocket. "Let's
say your odometer readers 17,435 when you fill your tank with gas." He put the
figures on the back of his pay envelope.
"That wouldn't be right for my car,"
Burt said, "'cause I've got almost 80,000 miles on my car.
"That don't make no difference,"
Eben responded. "I ain't explaining the particulars. I'm explaining the
principles. So let's say your odometer reads 17,435."
Burt had his face all twisted up
trying to understand. It was clear to everyone except Eben that Burt had no
idea what Eben was talking about.
Eben went on to say, "Then, let's
say the next time you fill it up, your odometer readers 17,725, see. You
subtract the 17,435 from 17,725."
He screwed up his face and stuck his
tongue out of the corner of his mouth as he did the calculation. Burt, sitting
opposite Eben, had the same expression on his face, even down to the tongue
sticking out of the corner of his mouth, but it didn't help him understand what
Eben was doing.
"Let's see," Eben went on, "five
from five leaves nawthing, and three from two, let's see. Take away one from
seven, and that makes twelve and subtract three and that leaves nine, and four
from seven is three. Ayuh, that's right. That means you've drove three hundred
and ninety miles."
Horace had listened patiently while
Eben tried to explain to Burt how to figure out mileage. Then he felt it was
his turn. "This here soap opera," he began, "it's called 'The Gathering Gloom.'
It's about this young girl named Aurora who's trying to get into show
Eben ignored him and went on with
his explanation: "So, let's say when you get gas, your tank takes twelve
"My car always takes more than
twelve gallons. I always have to put in at least fifteen or sixteen gallons,
sometimes more."
"That don't make no difference,"
Eben went on. "Just say this one time it took only twelve gallons."
Burt nodded, but his eyes betrayed
hopeless bewilderment.
"So you divide the twelve into three
hundred and ninety," sticking his tongue out of the corner of his mouth while
he did his calculation.
"Anyway," Horace continued, "Aurora met this rich man
named Lance LaRoux, and he promised to get her a part in the chorus line of
this show called 'The Purple Passion of Pompey.'"
"Let's see, Eben said, "twelve goes
into thirty-nine four—no, three times. Three times two is six. Three times one
is three. That makes thirty-six. Take that away from thirty-nine, and you get,
let me see, four. Add a zero, and you get forty. Twelve goes into forty, let's
see, four times, so that means you're getting thirty-four miles to a gallon."
"It's all too complicated for me,'
Burt said. "All I know is, that old Plymouth
of mine is falling apart. I had a valve job done last week, and now it's
leaking oil. Yesterday I was driving home after work, and the muffler fell off.
Fell off right there on Hardy Road
while I was going home."
"What kind of gas mileage you
getting on that Plymouth ?"
Bill asked, stuffing the last of his sandwich into his mouth and winking at
Horace just scowled.
"I don't know," Burt answered. "I
just know it uses an awful lot of gas. I can't hardly afford to drive it." He
pushed his red suspenders up on the shoulder of his red flannel shirt.
Bill turned to Eben, who was eating
blueberry pie out of a plastic dish. "Tell you what you ought to do," he said.
"You bring that VW over to me Satady, and I'll tune 'er up for you. Then you'll
get some real mileage out of 'er."
He nudged Burt, who then said,
"Ayuh, you let Bill tune 'er up for you, and you'll get some real gas mileage out
of it."
week later the four men were sitting in Maisie's Diner eating lunch.
"What kind of gas mileage you
getting on your VW now that I tuned 'er up for you?" Bill asked.
"I went to Houlton last Sunday, and
I didn't have to fill it up until Tuesday." He pulled an old envelope covered
with figures from his pocket. "I got sixty-eight miles to a gallon on the trip.
I went to Bangor
yesterday, and the gas gauge is still up above three-quarters."
Horace looked at him skeptically.
"I told you you'd get better mileage
if you let me tune it up," Bill said, winking at Burt.
"I tried to figure out my gas
mileage like Eben does," Burt cut in. "I don't know if I done it right or not,
but I'm just getting four miles to a gallon. The carburetor went last week, and
them brakes is beginning to squeal."
"That show, 'The Gathering Gloom,'
is getting pretty good," Horace offered. "That rich guy, Lance Laroux, who
helped Aurora
get a part in the chorus line, wants a reward for helping her."
If you guys want anything else to
eat," Maisie yelled to them, "you better get it now. You ain't got but six
minutes to get back to the mill." She stuck a cigarette into the corner of her
mouth and lit it with a wooden match.
"Give me a piece of blueberry pie,"
Eben said.
"Me too," Burt added.
"We better get back to the mill,"
Horace said. "We'll see you guys there."
As they went out the door, Horace
said to Bill, "Eben couldn't possibly get getting sixty-eight miles to a
gallon. He must of figured it wrong."
Bill laughed but waited until they
were outside to answer. "He didn't figure it wrong," Bill laughed. "Don't say
nawthing to him. I been adding a gallon of gas to his tank every morning. But
now I'm really going to drive him nuts. I'm going to start siphoning some gas
out of the tank every day. See if he can figure that out."
the next week Bill waited for Eben to say something about his gas mileage, but
Eben never mentioned the gas mileage at all. Finally Bill couldn't wait any
longer. He asked Eben what kind of mileage the VW was getting.
"I don't know," Eben said. "I need
to get grain for Flora's chickens, and I was having troubled getting the bags
of gain in and out of the back seat of the VW, so I went to John Trembley's and
got a pick-up truck."
"But I seen that VW in the parking
lot every morning," Bill said.
"Oh, I thought you knew," Eben
replied. "I sold that VW to Burt a week ago."
Bill's face dropped as Burt said, "I
still don't know how to figure gas mileage, but it seems to use an awful lot of
gas. I've filled it up twice this week, and I ain't driven no place but back
and forth to work."

Um, yes, people overwhelmingly want it repealed: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/health_care_law
Re:Ownership is not the issue (271 comments)
I'm pretty sure there are no conditionals in the law. The constitution doesn't say much about taxation, as the founders didn't really like that topic. On a serious note, the government is taxing you without your permission anyways.
Re:Ownership is not the issue (271 comments)
Of course a right is contingent on you being able to afford it - but you should only have to be able to afford to exercise the right in its inherent definition, not including any burden the government might decided to place on you. A good example of prohibition by taxation is 1934 NFA (a $200 tax on $2 guns - according to you, perfectly OK).
To address your other points, felons have been denied some rights by due process (legal), children and the insane have been deemed not fully responsible for their actions and thus do not have all associated rights.
If you'd read the Federalist papers to see what the founders thought the 2nd amendment should represent, you would understand that it meant that the individual should be able to possess the same arms that any individual in the military could have - the rationale being that individuals would always greatly outnumber a standing army. Thus the only thing on your list that would be inappropriate would be the nuke (and in case you didn't know, fully automatic weapons aren't illegal under federal law).
Re:cults? (142 comments)
Uh, no. You don't need a large government to do the following:
Enforce contracts
Punish fraud
That's it. That's all you need the government to do relating to work. Why else you would need to do anything? If you aren't earning enough, you go on strike or you quit. A business can't run with no employees, so eventually an equilibrium price for your labor is found.
Re:Ownership is not the issue (271 comments)
Not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.
There is no right to drive a car on a public road (it's a privilege), and you are allowed to drive a car on your own property without insurance.
Re:There goes WoW (142 comments)
Why would you make something illegal that is already illegal?
Re:cults? (142 comments)
This is only true in the presence of a large, corrupt government, which is what we are trying to avoid with capitalism.

Comic-Con: Kevin Smith Explains How His New Movie 'Tusk' Is Like Herpes
Features By Jack Giroux on July 27, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThree years ago writer/director Kevin Smith pushed himself as a filmmaker with Red State. The quasi-horror movie was polarizing for both Smith's fans and critics. Good or bad, it's definitely far more ambitious than Smith's previous movie, Cop Out. He was trying something new. Red State was a 180 turn in the director's career. With his new picture, Tusk, Smith is continuing down the road he set out on back in 2011. A trailer for the film was released shortly after its Comic-Con debut. From the looks of it, Tusk features the old and the new Kevin Smith. That's a good thing, because when Red State turned into a shootout, the old Smith was missed. Smith's finest work generally involves characters talking around a table. Tusk doesn't seem to stray too far from Smith's dialogue-heavy past, since the film does feature two characters stuck together in a house, so we should expect a good amount of dialogue from Smith. If you don't want to know whether Justin Long's character does actually get turned into a walrus, avoid this discussion with Smith. And, even though I call it a discussion, it's not really that at all. When you interview Kevin Smith, he's never at a loss for words. It's best to just let him say what he has to say.
Kevin Smith Doesn't Need Your Money Upfront for 'Clerks III'
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on June 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentNow that we're past the point of established Hollywood talents going to fans for funding projects, is it only a matter of time before Kevin Smith reaches out to his cult following via Kickstarter? Not quite yet, and maybe he never will. Talking to Kim Masters on the KRCW radio program The Business, Smith admitted, "I love the idea and I want to do it so desperately, but I think I've missed the window based on the fact that I do have access to materials, I do have access to money." Let's not forget that Smith was almost a pioneer of feature film crowdfunding three years ago when he looked into the idea of fan-based financing for Red State, a creative departure for the director and one that even his friends at The Weinstein Co. weren't interested in. Of course, the idea of him crowdfunding was blown out of proportion and the possibility was met with great disapproval on the web, not unlike what occurred more recently with Zach Braff's campaign. One website in particular called Smith a "beggar," which hit the filmmaker deep. He commented on that to Masters: The moment I saw that I froze. That high school part of me, the last vestiges of high school that said, "Oh, I care what other people think about me," seized me… And, I can't even remember the name of the website or the person that wrote it, but I do remember that it was the last moment of my life […]
By now everyone knows that after his upcoming two-part hockey flick Hit Somebody, Kevin Smith is done making movies. If Red State is any indication, the time's right for his exit. Smith's Westboro Baptist Church-inspired horror-thriller has been making headlines since his ill-fated fake auction following January's Sundance premiere. He's taken it on the road, showing it to packed houses across North America. It played a week at the New Beverly Cinema in L.A. The filmmaker's tweeted about it incessantly. Now, it's on DVD. And it's still really, really bad, a simplistic, poorly-constructed exercise in low-rent genre moviemaking. It's as if Smith made the movie just so he could promote it. Horny Midwestern teens (Michael Angarano, Kyle Gallner and Nicholas Braun) sneak away one school night to have sex with an older woman they've met online. Turns out the woman, Sara (Melissa Leo), is the daughter of the psychotic fringe preacher Abin Cooper (Michael Parks) and Abin really, really doesn't like fornicating.
Let's just get this out of the way right now. You probably won't agree with my placement of one or more of the three films in the AVOID section below. And that's okay. If you like an actor or filmmaker behind one of the films then definitely check it out for yourself. Just know that they're not good movies. All three of them actually came close to joining the RENT category but for every one thing that worked ten others failed miserably. The directors behind them (Jake Kasdan, Kevin Smith, Chris Weitz) have made far better films in the past, and they'll probably go on to make more going forward. But these are their bumps in the road, and they should probably be saved for cable. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Aftershock China's Tangshan earthquake killed 240,000 people in 1976, and from that disaster comes this affecting and emotionally powerful tale of loss, guilt, and forgiveness. A building collapse traps two twins, a boy and a girl, beneath a concrete slab. Saving one means killing the other, and their mother is forced with making a heart-wrenching choice… "Save my son." Unbeknownst to her though, the little girl survives and never forget her mother's words. Now thirty years later a second earthquake draws that adult daughter back to China to help the victims and confront the mother who left her for dead. The film skips what would have been a couple […]
Boiling Point: Where's The October Horror, Hollywood?
31 Days of Horror By Robert Fure on October 3, 2011 | Comments (7)It's October and that means one thing in Hollywood: not releasing horror movies. It's become sort of a yearly tradition for me to bitch about the lack of horror movies released in the month of Halloween and so far, Hollywood hasn't yet disappointed in disappointing me. People love Halloween, they love scary movies, and they love combining the two. During the month of October, more people than ever are interested in seeing scary flicks and having fun in a theater. You can look at positively mediocre movies, like most of the Saw franchise, Rob Zombie's Halloween movies, and Paranormal Activity, that are released in October and make oodles of money — money they wouldn't make at any other time. It's sort of like when poker started appearing on television, everyone started buying poker sets. Poker movies started coming out. SyFy Channel and The Asylum make a living off of making rip-off movies that play around the release of huge movies, when people are most interested in that subject. If only there were a way to know when people would be interested in what…
Movie News After Dark: Avengers Teaser, Attack the Block Slang, Jon Benjamin's Van and Bizarro Dark Knight Trailers
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 28, 2011 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It certainly is not a nightly movie news column produced in someone's mother's basement. However, it is written by a man with a strict no-pants policy. Now please go forth and enjoy tonight's news with that in the back of your mind. We begin tonight with Chris Evans, Captain America, and some of his costume from The Avengers. Earlier today, Marvel Studios released a teaser for next summer's big superhero team-up that also includes the final scene from Captain America: The First Avenger. It's perhaps the scene you'd expect to lead us forward on this path, but if you haven't seen Cap, then you might want to skip on down to the rest of tonight's stories.
Channel Guide: Is The World Ready For A Kevin Smith Talk Show?
Features By Merrill Barr on July 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week's Channel Guide was originally going to be about the season premiere of Entourage, but then this news dropped and I had to re-think that decision. Now, before I go any further (and before I get yelled at for "bad reporting") I should say that Smith has pointed out that he is only "co-hosting" the show… but just like REGIS & Kelly, who do you think people are going to tune in for? Now, onto the news. First came the announcement that two of Smith's podcasting cohorts, Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson, were going to be creating a Pawn Stars style reality show set in Smith's comic book shop and it's going to be called Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash. It will air on AMC should it get picked up. Smith also began talking at length on his daily radio show about a "secret project over the hill" that was taking place in addition to the reality show. However, unlike the AMC project, he has been VERY tight lipped about the details (granted, he didn't spill anything about the AMC bit until a casting call was put out from the production company), until now.
Lionsgate Inks a Deal to Bring Kevin Smith's 'Red State' to us Regular Folk
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 28, 2011 | Comments (2)Kevin Smith made a splash at the most recent Sundance Film Festival by holding a mock auction for his horror film Red State, buying the distribution rights himself, and then taking the movie on a tour around the country. The whole thing was some sort of statement about the inflated budgets films have to accrue in order to get distribution and advertising, and an experiment as to whether or not a filmmaker could turn a profit by just distributing a movie themselves. Smith took his reel of the film from theater to theater, screening it and holding Q&As afterward, and charging the people who showed up a premium for the service. That's fine for Smith's loyal fanbase, but what about the rest of us who might just have a passing interest in checking out the movie and aren't willing to pay a hefty ticket price for the experience of seeing it with the director in the room? Now we've got an option coming our way as well.
Movie News After Dark: Thor Reviews, Kevin Smith's Red to Black and 47 Years of Doctor Who
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 17, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a movie news column that brings down the Hammer of Thor upon you with a spectacle of lightning, news and think pieces from around the web. And not just once in a while, but every single night (except for Saturdays). Time to kick your week off right with news, news and Doctor Who… There is something curious about the timing of the first round of Thor reviews to hit the web. Knowing Paramount, their publicity team was very calculated in lifting the embargo on a select number of reviewers. They are good at massaging the buzz like that. That said, I trust Drew McWeeney at HitFix, and he seems rather positive on the film. That's promising. There are also some balanced takes found via this Cinema Blend round-up, as well as an equally impressive and balanced reaction from Peter Sciretta at /Film. Take it one of two ways: the expectations bar is being set low for a big surprise, or it's being set low to lessen the blow of the film being a lame duck. It could still go either way.

Features By Scott Beggs on February 14, 2011 | Comments (12)This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, champion foosball player Kevin Smith joins us for the most sobering, introspective interview the man has given all week. Jokes aside, no topic is out of bounds, so we ask the tough questions about Sundance theatrics, taking Red State out on his own, his animosity toward critics, and retiring from filmmaking (but not from storytelling). If you're a Smith fan, you're probably already clicking Play. If you're one of the people that lost some respect for the man during the past year, his appearance here will do a lot to earn it back. No, we don't find time to review Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but we do dig in for 105 minutes on the state of distribution, the future of his own films, and how it ties in to his past.

Advisory: Kevin Smith Talks 'Red State' On Sunday's Reject Radio
Features By Scott Beggs on February 9, 2011 | Comments (1)Little-known indie filmmaker Kevin Smith is headed to Reject Radio this Sunday (10pm EST/7pm PST/ 4am Geneva Time) to talk about his Sundance experience, the horror and non-horror of Red State, and answer the tough questions about his rejection of critics (asked by a movie critic). Is he taking a real gamble by releasing the movie himself? What's his plan post-retirement? Why does he love Laser Disc so much? What did he learn from Cop Out? What the hell made him so mad at the press? Does he have any beard maintenance tips? Join us, and while you wait on the edge of our seat, check out our episode on the career of Busby Berkeley (which we're sure all Kevin Smith fans will fall right in love with).

The Week That Was: Cutting Out All Your Curse Words

Talking Heads: Is Kevin Smith Right About Distribution Being Broken?
Features By Scott Beggs on January 28, 2011 | Comments (3)Every week, Landon Palmer and Cole Abaius log on to their favorite chat client of 1996 as ClairesKneeFan and THXForAllTheFish1138 in order to discuss some topical topic of interest. This week, the two finally manage to answer last week's question while reveling in the continuation of Sundance and the totally old revolutionary model of distribution that Kevin Smith wants the world to take note of. But instead of wasting more internet words on Smith, the question is far simpler and far too high concept to attempt without some Sandlot references: Is the movie distribution system really broken?
Exclusive: What the Guy Who Paid $1,000 for Tickets Thought of Kevin Smith's Red State
Features By Neil Miller on January 26, 2011 | Comments (15)Bryan King did something that, by my estimation, is unprecedented in the world of movie fandom. He paid $1,000 for tickets to see Kevin Smith show off his latest effort Red State at Sundance for the first time. The opportunity came when the director decided to auction off two of his personal tickets to Sunday night's world premiere. When all was said and done, King was in for a cool grand, earning him tickets and a ride on Smith's tour bus post-screening. In a classy move, Smith donated the money to support the Sundance Institute Labs, which provides a learning environment for future filmmakers. When we heard about all of this, we were immediately interested. Why would someone pay $1,000 for two seats to a movie, even a world premiere? And does that change the experience? Does it give one even higher expectations for the movie? I was genuinely curious as to how the entire ordeal worked out for someone who invested so much into seeing a single film. No matter what the outcome, this would be an interesting side of a story that everyone seems to be talking about. So I reached out to Bryan King and asked if he'd be game for a little post-screening Q&A. Much to my delight, he was ready and willing to tell his story. The following is a brief, but interesting interview with the man who paid $1,000 to watch Kevin Smith's Red State…
In this ambitious but failed departure from the guru of fanboys, Kevin Smith meditates on the current philosophical extremism in fundamentalist Christianity and government. What starts out as a possible teen titty movie about three Midwestern kids trying to get laid quickly turns into an American Gothic tale about an extreme right-wing church lead by Pastor Abin Cooper (Michael Parks in a fearless and ferrous performance) and their biblical battle with portly ATF officer Keane (John Goodman in a hero of the day moment). With recent tragedy in Arizona, the film does take on a timely quality, but never fully develops into the balls-out horror movie Smith promises.

A Handy User's Guide to Four-Walling – The Method Kevin Smith is Using to Get 'Red State' Into Theaters
Features By Scott Beggs on January 24, 2011 | Comments (9)Last night at Sundance, Kevin Smith boldly claimed that he would be revolutionizing the distribution model for movies by using a brand new, century-old method. He's going to be taking his movie to theaters himself. He's going to be four-walling Red State. What is four-walling? It's when a filmmaker rents out the theater that a film will be playing in, keeping the ticket sales for the production while the theater keeps the money made on ten dollar medium popcorn tubs. In a way, with its long history, Smith is tapping back into an ancient business model that had difficulty making traction as a moneymaker in order to shun the studios and their monopoly-like grip on what we see at the multiplex.
Boiling Point: Quit Being Dumb, Social Conservatives
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on January 24, 2011 | Comments (4)Is that a provocative headline? I'm not sure. No more provocative than my first assignment from Neil Miller for FSR, "Why Blacks Don't Deserve the Vote." Just kidding, that wasn't my first article, my first article was a review of The Pound Puppies on VHS. But really, that joke may be tasteless. Some people may be upset by it. You may run off and tell your friends not to read this article, or this site. By all means, go ahead and do that. Make sure to link them to the article too. So they can see it first hand. So that one article no one in your social group was going to read is now read by all of them. Do it. The more you send it around, the the more hits it gets and the more hits it gets the more Milk Duds I receive in compensation. There seems to be a bit of controversy over controversy these past weeks. Last week we had Ricky Gervais say some funny and mean things (the best kind of things) and people got upset. This week Judd Apatow stole that idea and said a lot of mean things that were barely funny (being just remakes of Ricky Gervais jokes) about the chubby Brit. We've also got some thick headed religious types protesting Red State because of its subject matter (I say only protest it if it sucks, or because Kevin Smith is a douche nozzle) and similar socially conservative people up in […]

Dorothy Cosonas, creative director for KnollTextiles, has been a master pattern designer for years, but until now, hadn't translated her patterns specifically for glass. For NeoCon® 2012, Skyline Design unveiled the KnollTextiles Glass Collection, which comprises two of Cosonas's patterns, the designer's interpretation of two archival patterns, as well as three KnollTextiles designs. To create the same kind of depth textiles exhibit, Skyline uses a combination of front and back etching for some patterns. And two techniques—Eco-etch and AST—customize color, as well as transparency and opacity levels.skylinedesign.com


text: you asked... Q&A: Solving pumping problems? I'm having a hard time pumping -- how do I get the milk to come out? What's the best time for me to do it? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: I'm having a hard time pumping -- how do I get the milk to come out? What's the best time for me to do it? The best time to pump your breasts is early in the morning. This is because a breastfeeding mother's milk supply peaks between 1 and 5 a.m. Breastfeed baby in the morning and then wait approximately 30 to 45 minutes before you begin pumping. It's normal not to express large amounts of milk after a feeding session. By pumping your breasts at the same time each day you're creating a routine for your breasts and, within a few days, your milk supply will increase.It may take a few minutes of no milk coming out before your milk finally releases. If nothing is happening after a few minutes, you can turn the suction dial up an increment higher -- give yourself a full few minutes at the higher suction before turning it higher again. You can also try turning the pump off and repositioning your breast. Remember to make sure the breast shield on the pump is the correct size -- if your nipple rubs against the funnel of the shield, you may need to go up one size.Pump both breasts for approximately 7 minutes, then turn the pump off, and massage your breasts for a minute or so (massage from the armpit down toward the nipple). This basically allows the breasts to reset. Continue pumping again another 5 minutes until the flow of milk has decreased. Carole Arsenault re: Q: Pumping problems? I struggled with learning to pump. I bought the Avent and it came with an 800 phone number for assistance. When I called, they were really nice and talked me through things.The one tip that comletely helped was trying to get the milk flowing. She said to make short quick pumps for the first couple of minutes. This process would impersonate the baby anxiously trying to get milk. She said that after a baby realizes that milk is already flowing, they instinctively slow down the suckling and do slow, long sucks for drinking (to fill their mouth), pretty much the same rate as how adults drink liquids out of a glass. I couldn't believe this step in the instruction process because it sounded silly to me as a first-time mom.I had nothing else to try. Sure enough, it worked. When I started my next pump session after that phone call, I started out in manual mode to control the quick, short/gentle pumps for about 2-3 minutes. Next thing I knew, milk started flowing. And then I did slow, long manual pumps and then set the pump machine on autopump. I was so shocked to have gotten 3 ounces!!!...way more than the several drops I got before. And it didn't hurt this time around (since in the past I was doing everything painfully to get milk to flow).Good luck! monjes | re: Q: Pumping problems? I too had a difficult timepumping with my first child. I found it helpful to pump one breast while nursing on the other. Nursing helped to get milk flowing from both breasts. Then I would switch during the next feeding. Nakiaa21 | Q&A: Solving pumping problems? Nakiaa21's suggestion is quite helpful! As silly as it sounds, i never thought about pumping one breast while nursing on the other! It elimintaes the 20 minute pumping sessions after the 30 minute nursing sessions. Now that i am expecting my 2nd child, i will definately give it a try! Lilywildcat | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

Czech Airlines is to step in to conduct flights for budget carrier Iceland Express, after the demise of the UK's Astraeus Airlines.
Iceland Express, via its social media feed, said that Holidays Czech Airlines - a subsidiary of the Central European flag-carrier - would "be our flight operator".
It followed the cessation of operations by Astraeus which had previously carried out Iceland Express's services using Boeing 737 and 757 aircraft.
Czech Airlines confirmed that two aircraft from its Holidays operation will operate "for a few months" on the Iceland Express routes.
The carrier is to operate under the ICAO designator code 'HCC', and initial Iceland Express services from London and Berlin were already being coded as such yesterday.
Czech Airlines said it would serve the routes until the end of April 2012, operating to Reykjavik from Spain, Denmark, Poland and Germany. Maintenance will be provided by Czech Airlines' technical arm.

With a front row that included Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Carine Roitfeld and Frank Ocean, the Givenchy Fall 2013 runway presentation did not fall short with worthy spectators.
This Autumnal season saw creative director Riccardo Tisci's eighth year with the french fashion house. The collection boasted a lighthearted approach that referenced Tisci's past creations at Givenchy. He brought together the elegance of decorative sheer skirts with the casual allure of graphic sweatshirts.
It is no surprise that this juxtaposition resonated well with critics, as Nicole Phelps of Style.com called the collection, "One of those fashion moments that true believers slog through four weeks of shows for. It gave you goose bumps." Givenchy Fall 2013 certainly inspires awe in yet another demonstration of Tisci's divine ouvre.

Vidal urges prayers for Pedro pilgrims
-A A +AMonday, October 15, 2012
CEBU Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal wants pilgrims to pray to the seven blessed, including Beato Pedro Calungsod, who will be canonized in Rome on Sunday.
Vidal, who opened the cause for sainthood of Calungsod two decades ago, left last night to attend the triduum masses and other activities in Rome, Italy.
Before leaving, Cardinal Vidal shared some thoughts about Blessed Pedro's life as a catechist in Guam in his homily at yesterday morning's mass at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral.
He cited the Bible reading on the young, rich man who was told by Jesus to give up his wealth as a step toward heaven and who walked away.
"We have the example of Blessed Pedro Calungsod, who left a peaceful and easy life in the Philippines to follow a hard life in Guam," said Vidal.
"He (Calungsod) was not there for adventurism but to help as a sacristan and in the evangelization in Guam," he said.
Calungsod, a teenaged catechist, was part of the Jesuit mission sent to teach catechism at the Ladrones Islands or the Marianas Islands in the late 1600s.
The boy from the Visayas was the sacristan of Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores. They were killed by the natives in Guam.
Padre Diego was beatified on Oct. 6, 1985 while Pedro Calungsod was beatified by Blessed Pope John Paul II in March 2000.
When he was archbishop of Cebu, Vidal appointed Msgr. Ildebrando Leyson to be the postulator for the cause of the sainthood of Calungsod.
Based on the timeline prepared by Leyson, Calungsod's name and manner of death were mentioned in the documents used for the cause of beatification of San Vitores while the diocesan process for the cause of the beatification of Calungsod in Cebu started in November 1994.
He also said only a painting of Calungsod, which was done by famous religious painter Rafael del Casal, was brought to Rome for the beatification rites.
The prelate was happy and amused that the pilgrim image of the Visayan martyr would be treated like a person and travel to Rome as an airline passenger and not as a cargo.
"For those who can't go to Rome, they should find ways to watch the (canonization) rites on TV or to attend mass," he said.
"This (event) is something special, he (Calungsod) belongs to us. We are very much
honored for this occasion," he said.
Vidal reminded the pilgrims to Rome to attend the event.
Provincial Board Member Alex Binghay and some Toledo City officials will witness the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod on Oct. 21 in Rome.
Toledo Vice Mayor Arlene Zambo said they will leave on Wednesday together with Binghay's wife, Balamban Vice Mayor Rosario Veloso-Binghay.
Zambo said five councilors of Toledo will also attend the canonization of the first Cebuano saint.
She said they are using their personal funds for the event.
The vice mayor said it is a spiritual journey for them to witness the canonization of the second Filipino saint.
Two councilors of Mandaue City will witness the canonization rites on Sunday.
Councilor Nenita Layese left the country last Oct. 3. She filed her certificate of candidacy for councilor a day earlier. She left early because she has other places to visit.
Councilor Demetrio Cortes Jr. will leave for Rome within the week.
Cortes, a Beato Pedro Calungsod choir member, is in charge of the send-off procession for the pilgrim image of the Visayan martyr on Tuesday.

Aurora, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/07/2014 -- Language has been something that has been helping people communicate since years. It is the power of language that allows two different individuals to share their feelings and communicate. Translation and interpretation are two methods that help build a bridge for communication between people knowing two different languages. With an increase in the number of people and a huge number of languages spoken throughout the world, it is important for many corporate offices, professionals and also government organizations to make sure they have a legal translation service provider at hand.
Translation Excellence having being providing legal translation services in Denver has been successful in reaching out to a number of organizations that need to avail such services.

Television American Eagle A new show on PBS's NATURE series provides an intimate look at the struggles and success of an avian icon. By Kim Connors
American Eagle is a soaring tribute to our national emblem, offering sweeping aerial shots of the bird's domain and intimate looks at individual families through a 75-foot-high eagle cam.
Complementing the majestic cinematography—taken by Emmy Award–winning photographer Neil Rettig—is the poignant history of the bald eagle. First adopted by Congress in the 1780s as a national symbol of strength and independence, bald eagles were later vilified and killed by North American settlers in the 1800s.
In 1940, Congress banned the killing and selling of bald eagles by passing the Bald Eagle Protection Act. After World War II, however, eagles faced what was perhaps a more insidious foe: the insecticide DDT. Widely spread across acres of crops, the chemical made its way into the food chain, washing into nearby waterways and contaminating fish. Eagles preying on fish became poisoned, laying eggs with paper-thin shells that broke during incubation. It was just one more insult to a meager population consisting of about 400 pairs and already suffering from the effects of habitat loss and hunting.
Recognizing the species' bleak fate, the federal government listed the raptor as endangered after the the Endangered Species Act became law in 1973. That move, along with the 1972 banning of DDT, helped pave the way for a comeback that has resulted in a population of approximately 10,000 nesting pairs today. In 2007 the United States celebrated the bird's triumphant recovery by delisting it.
American Eagle specifically homes in on a few eagle couples living near the Upper Mississippi River. The plight of a male eagle and his one-eyed partner—eagles mate for life—is a riveting segment revealing how the birds cope with bitter, bleak winters as well as manmade perils. Footage of another couple is also mesmerizing: In nature's own version of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, the couple's two chicks vie for resources. The first hatchling is a female; the second, a male, emerges two days later. As the larger of the two sexes by nature, the sister attacks her brother relentlessly, demanding the lion's share of the food being served by a seemingly indifferent mother.
The documentary does a masterful job of blending the harsh realities facing eagles with their daily successes and ends on an uplifting note: unforgettable footage that shows eagles taking advantage of a season of plentiful prey by participating in what can only be likened to a rugby match, passing, dropping, and stealing some unfortunate coots in midair.
American Eagle airs November 16 at 8 p.m. on PBS's NATURE series. NATURE is produced by Thirteen/WNET, New York.
