"I wanted a unique, simple card that would stand out from the sea of mini-collages typically used for graduation announcements. This design was exactly what I hoped to find! I used a black and white photo of my son as a young child on the cover, a color photo of my son as he is today (really handsome, as objective as only a mom can be) and as a surprise on the back of the card, included a tiny cap & gown headshot of my son when he graduated pre-K with a small caption "Proud Graduate of..." The technical customer support team was extremely helpful when I ran into a problem with one of the photos. In fact, credit goes to the customer service rep who suggested adding the little surprise photo on the back of the card. I received many compliments from family and friends on how much they loved the announcement. The highest praise came from the toughest critic...my son :)"
"i loved this design for my son's high school graduation. It turned out great. i used the design review and was very happy with it. Very fast service!"
"the color of the "2014 Graduate" doesn't work well over a lighter background photo...this would have been a good recommendation for me; but we were fine with the outcome regardless. the designers were very helpful in getting our texting just right"
"From start to finish I was extremely happy with the design and color choices, amazing quality of paper, and the finished product. I had questions while I was placing my order and customer service was excellent and very helpful. All our family and friends loved this beautiful card!"
"We were so happy with every aspect of this announcement! The paper quality is amazing. The best part of this company is their customer service. We paid an extra $20 for a two day rush and received them in three & when I called the company to let them know I was prepared for a fight but they reimbursed me fully without even having to ask. I also had an issue where the print on the back didn't show up well in black, called them & they reprinted them in cream and re-sent them again without me even having to ask. BEST customer service I have ever dealt with. I will recommend this company to my dying day."

This article is intended to give a brief overview of the Directory Service/Metabase Synchronization process in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. More information that concerns this Area of Concentration can be found at the locations noted below. The function of the Directory Service/Metabase Synchronization process is to transfer configuration information from Active Directory to the local metabase. The metabase is found by default at SystemRoot\System32\Inetsrv\Metabase.bin. This configuration is stored in the local metabase instead of the registry for performance and scalability reasons. In Exchange 2000, all of the protocols (SMTP, NNTP, POP3, IMAP4, and HTTP) run as components of Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). In other words, Exchange 2000 integrates its services with IIS services. More information
The metabase is a hierarchical database that is used to store configuration values for IIS and Exchange 2000. It is a storage mechanism as well as an Application Programming Interface (API) set to manipulate the configuration parameters. In IIS 3.0 and earlier, such values are configurable by directly editing the registry. In IIS 4.0 and 5.0, some values are still configurable by editing the registry, but the metabase provides more granularity in the configuration of server properties. Server properties may be set at the computer, Web site, virtual directory, directory, and file level by modifying the metabase. The Directory Service/Metabase Synchronization process copies entire subtrees from Active Directory without changing the shape of the subtree. This is a one-way write from Active Directory to the metabase; the metabase never writes to Active Directory. It does not add or compute any attribute when copying. The "paths" in the metabase are called "keys." Properties can be set at each key and each property can have attributes that customize that property. All identifiers that are present in the directory service image of the subtree are required in the metabase, including identifiers such as KeyType. In addition, the Relative Distinguished Name of the object in the directory is mapped directly to the key name in the metabase. Accessing the MetabaseThere are several ways to access the metabase. Most of the properties can be changed through the administrative user interfaces (UI) such as Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or Internet Service Manager. However, like the registry, there are some values that may need to be changed that are not available in the UI. To change these values, use the following methods or utilities.WARNING: Using MetaEdit or Mdutil incorrectly can cause serious issues that may require reinstallation of IIS or your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that issues that result from the incorrect use of MetaEdit or Mdutil can be solved. Use these utilities at your own risk. For information about how to edit the metabase, view the various Help topics in MetaEdit. Note that the metabase should be backed up by using the IIS snap-in for the MMC before editing the metabase.

There are two questions to be answered if cancer is suspected:
'breast cancer' posts
Two key questions to answer in a suspected cancer workup
The Story Behind the Voice of 1-855-XCANCER (1-855-922-6237)
Being diagnosed with cancer is the beginning of a difficult time. The entire process – from diagnosis to treatment to survivorship – can be exhausting. And, I am sure that when you have questions that come up, you would like to have them answered, respectfully and responsively.
As health professionals we want to ensure that you, your family, friends and caregivers have access to all resources available at the Swedish Cancer Institute (SCI). For this reason, Swedish launched a customized phone line tailored to the Cancer Institute where callers can find out more information on services available.
Whether you want to know more about different treatment options, learn more about research studies or locate community cancer resources, I am here to assist you. If you are a new patient and would like to be seen by a provider at the Swedish Cancer Institute, I can help get the process started for you by connecting you with the most appropriate SCI specialist.
To put a story behind the voice over the phone, I would like to officially introduce myself to the Swedish community! I am Swedish's Integrated Care Services Coordinator and Telephone Liaison for the Swedish Cancer Institute and True Family Women's Cancer Center – which means I get to work with the entire network of Swedish campuses (including First Hill, Cherry Hill, Issaquah, Ballard and Edmonds) and can help you get connected to the appropriate areas of service that you may need.
I can help to answer any questions you may have, or connect you to the following:
Do Docs Miss Breast Cancer Warning Signs in Breastfeeding Mothers?
In the haze of joy and sleeplessness during the months after childbirth, thoughts about breast cancer are the last thing on a new mother's mind. Her body is undergoing so many changes that, of course, she and her doctors would naturally assume any breast changes are related to breastfeeding.
Probably, they are. However, there is a small but real incidence of women who develop breast cancer during and following pregnancy. Often, they end up having delays in seeking evaluation and getting a diagnosis, because they or their doctors may not appreciate that risk!
So, what things should prompt an evaluation?
- Lumps most often will be changes in the breast tissue as it revs up milk production. A distinct lump or "dominant mass" could be a clogged duct, galactocele, cyst or a common benign tumor called a fibroadenoma, but if it doesn't resolve within a few weeks with treatment, it needs imaging.
- Redness most often will represent infections like mastitis or an abscess, but if it doesn't resolve within a few weeks with treatment, it will also need imaging and possibly a biopsy. At the very least, that could determine if the right antibiotics are being used. An uncommon form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer can present this way.
- Bloody milk or baby refusing one breast most often will be due to nipple trauma, latch issues, or positioning; if so, seeing a board-certified lactation consultant is appropriate. But rarely, this can represent a form of breast cancer within the milk ducts.
- "Something's not right". You are the most knowledgeable person about your own breasts. Even if it doesn't neatly fit one of the categories above, if something really seems wrong to you, your doctors should take that seriously.
What evaluation should be done?
Health Disparities and Breast Cancer
Just as all breast cancers are not alike, the impact of breast cancer is not the same for all women. African American women are less likely to get breast cancer than Caucasian women, but they are about 40% more likely to die of it when they do get it. African American women are also more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age than Caucasian women and to have more advanced cancers at diagnosis.
There appear to be multiple reasons for these disparities - including cultural beliefs / misperceptions about screening and cancer; lack of access to screening; inequities in healthcare delivery and treatment; concerns about being exposed to racism by healthcare institutions; and biological differences in the cancers themselves.
Let's look at some of these more closely.
- Cultural beliefs / misperceptions about ....
Becoming a Breast Surgeon
Surgeons are often Type A personalities, the ones who sit in the front of the class, who volunteer for everything, who stay scrubbed in the OR all day with appendicitis and do a post-op check before checking themselves into the emergency department (yes, that was me.) As such, surgeons are often dismissive of the subspecialty of breast surgery. The surgeries are not as complex as cardiac bypass surgery or Whipple procedures for pancreatic cancer. In fact, it's often a rotation for interns. I was a Type A personality. I had no plans to do breast surgery.
Then, a funny thing happened. I had my first son during residency. Planned with military precision, of course, to coincide with the beginning of my designated research years, as I had hoped to squeeze another baby in there somewhere. After his birth, I would breastfeed, because that is what Type A mothers do these days. It's the best! Of course, I would do the best! However, like many mothers out there, we had an incredibly rocky start. Poor latch with inadequate weight gain. Triple feeding with pumped milk. Cracked nipples leading to mastitis. As a Type A person, I threw myself into research in an effort to solve the problems. Not just the many, many baby books out there, but Medline searches on breastfeeding management. I learned more than I ever had in my surgery textbooks about the breast, the physiology of lactation that is both incredibly simple and enormously complex, and most importantly, miraculous. I was reminded constantly in my reading of the importance of preserving this ability to breastfeed my son, for his and my health, and how challenging that could be.
I would sit in my office, working on surgical infections research, as I pumped and read about normal breasts and infected breasts and cancerous breasts. Antibiotic rotations in ICUs and glucose control became less exciting than being able to offer targeted medical advice to a frustrated friend in Boston, whose refractory mastitis was being met with shrugs from some of her local doctors until we correctly identified MRSA as the source. Maybe it wasn't saving lives, but it saved her breastfeeding relationship with her child. Who knows, maybe in the end it would be saving lives! I read more ....
What should I know about radiation if I have breast cancer?
If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, you may wonder if radiation is an option for you.
Radiation is an important pillar of treatment for breast cancer and has never been safer when designed by an experienced team with state of the art technology. Radiation will be part of a standard treatment plan after breast conserving surgery (also called lumpectomy or partial mastectomy). With the addition of radiation to the breast as an insurance policy, patients will do just as well as those undergoing mastectomy. Even after a mastectomy there are indications when radiation to the chest wall and nodes are recommended for best outcome. After a lumpectomy, radiation to the whole breast is the current gold standard.
How does radiation actually work?
Radiation works by aiming it at a target. Free radicals are produced which kill cancer cells, while normal cells have the capability to repair the damage. Cancer cells don't.
Having the most advanced technology available to precisely plan and deliver radiation to the target will protect healthy tissue for optimal outcomes and the best possible cosmetic result.
How can I make sure I receive the best radiation?
The radiation oncologists treating you should be part of an interdisciplinary team. I, for example, work closely with the patient, the breast surgeons and the medical oncologists. I then design a personalized radiation plan, tailored to the unique characteristics of the tumor and each patient's personal preferences. The more personalized the treatment the better.
To allow patients to feel their best during and after treatment, I often work with physical therapists, naturopaths, and other support staff (social worker, dietitian etc).
What type of radiation treatment do I need?
Radiation options after a breast conserving surgery can be very confusing. Here is a list that may help you understand the different options:
What you should know about breast cancer and tips for reading online information
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I've been paying more attention to online blogs about breast cancer and realize there is a lot of information and misinformation out there. How can you know what's correct, what's marketing, and what is just plain wrong? Here are some tips:
- Be an aware and questioning reader: Ask yourself some of the following questions. What is the source of the information? Does the author have anything to gain financially from the information? Are there studies that provide data supporting the recommendations? Who funded the studies and were there any potential conflicts of interest?
Investigate more than one source: Healthcare has become very politicized and complicated but you can find reliable sources. But realize even with trusted sources the information provided may be conflicting. Some reliable sources include: Swedish Cancer Institute, Breast Cancer Action, National Cancer Institute, and American Cancer Society.
- Don't be taken in by conspiracy theorists: I have practiced surgery for 30 years in a variety of situations and healthcare institutions and NEVER have I experienced a desire to withhold effective tests and treatments from patients. Physicians and hospital systems are not suppressing tests, treatments, and /or cures in order to stay in business. I don't know a breast surgeon who wouldn't be thrilled to have to practice another specialty if there was a way to prevent breast cancer.
Here are some things that I think it is important to know about breast cancer:

Hopefully it'll be fixed sometime tomorrow. I may be able to knock out most or all of the maintenance section as well. A big thanks to the mods for their help so far.

Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Actually, once it is completed, we will copy the thread to the reference section, remove all member comments from it and close it. There it will reside in perpetuity.
BAC, let me know, by PM, when you are finished and if there are any edits/corrections that need doing and I will make them for you.
Good work, by the way....

Sorry for the delay; seems that this was the pre-Spring Break exam week. Kinda snuck up on me.
The "Bang for your Buck" (aka, "Cost/Benefit and Example Builds") section should be finished tonight or tomorrow.
Great job! The info is clean and easy to read. Now would you do one for AK's? hahaha........
Both are fantastic systems and I think a lot of people would dig this easy to read info on the AK platform too.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
NOT forgotten...! I overestimated how much time I'd have outside of class for this, and will be rectifying that. Got all the critical areas done but everyone likes example shopping lists and enough people misunderstand "The Chart" that I figure it's worth an explanation. "Reference Material" is going to be part bibliography, part useful links I've found on the subject of AR-15 function and use. I'm also editing everything currently up to make sure it's up to my grammar standards and is easy to read (and that little formatting things are fixed).
Appreciate the support guys.
BAC all I can say is, WOW. Very good post and I would say this is deserving of a "Sticky" as this is a some very useful information!
Well done Brother!

BAC, I just got around to reading Part 7 - Maintenance. Yet another loud "bravo" for you. In particular, I am thrilled to see someone other than me harping about Pat Rogers' experience and sage advice regarding the AR maintenance. Such as, run the gun wet. I continue to be surprised by the number of armchair commandos who blindly advocate a white-glove level of cleanliness for the AR, as well as those who cling to the notion that the AR fared badly in Viet Nam because the gun had extreme maintenance and cleanliness requirements.
I'm a believer because I've done three trainings with Pat - and beyond a shadow of a doubt, the man knows whereof he speaks.
FYI, "Filthy 14" (the Bravo Company mid-length carbine) is now at 31675 rounds and started having some extraction problems as of last week's course in AZ (Mar 19-21). They'll replace the extractor and go from there. Pat's courses are the type of real-world experience that separates the Bushamster and DPMS carbines from the Colts, BCMs, Noveskes and others.
Thanks again for your "opus"!

Long time no see folks, but as of tomorrow I graduate and should have a little more time on my hands. Rough drafts are only supposed to be temporary, after all. Next installment will include three sample builds, a quick-list of good online vendors, and everything that can be priced will be priced. After it I'm torn between working through the edits or finishing the final, polished version and emailing it to Bumper.
Anyway, I'm back and looking forward to finishing this.
Thank you. You've just eliminated 2/3ds of my future post count.
Another long hiatus later...
As a brief (poor) explanation for my absense, my previous hard-drive died and come next month I'll be in the police academy. Seriously lookin' forward to it, but having this topic bookmarked and not polishing it up is now bugging me to no end. Tonight I'll have a polished version of what's currently done PM'd/emailed to a mod, and tomorrow I'll get crackin' on Part 8. I won't be able to do too much by way of example builds, given pricing and availability changes, but it'll be something.

The last time Kurt Vile came to Nelsonville, it was 2012. At the time, his album (2011's gorgeous Smoke Ring For My Halo) was being regarded as a critical moment for an artist who had been putting out music since his late teens.
When Smoke Ring hit, it seemed as though Vile had turned a profound corner. In that album, he and his band found a footing for his trademark songwriting, and it was clear that Vile was starting to resonate with a much larger audience.
Fast-forward to this Friday, when Kurt Vile and The Violators will take the Main Stage at The Nelsonville Music Festival, just before headliners Dinosaur Jr.
It's been an extraordinary two years since Vile's previous NMF appearance. 2013's Wakin On A Pretty Daze became his biggest album to date, generating praise from across the music world and raising him to a near-iconic level. His new status brought new opportunities, including a headlining set at this year's Coachella Festival.
Now, as Vile and his band begin a new tour across the U.S. and then onto Europe, the Nelsonville Music Festival will be one of their first stops.
"I'm excited to come back to this fest," he said. "The last time we had a great time and felt a lot of good vibes. We're also excited to play right in-between our friends Dinosaur Jr. and Quilt."
If one could boil down the equation to Kurt Vile's trajectory of success, it would come down to the simple fact that he is a relentless writer, and as such, has recorded and toured at a breakneck pace. In fact, Vile and his band will be coming to Nelsonville after having spent three days in Brooklyn, recording and rehearsing for the new tour.
"We're constantly writing and working on music. We have a recording space in Philly to move forward in a natural way," he said.
Philadelphia has always played an important role in Vile's life: a viable community where his family lives (he is married with two children), along with a rich network of friends and creative partners.
Vile's biggest creative partnership was during his time as a member/producer of the indie-rock band The War on Drugs, which he co-founded with current bandleader Adam Granduciel. Despite his departure (Vile exited before the release of 2011's Slave Ambient), the musicians around that band served as a collective of sorts.
When one listens to the hazy and layered sounds that both he and Granduciel would come to perfect (The War on Drugs' magnificent 2014 release Lost In The Dream, for instance), it's obvious that the two have influenced one other in their shared love of moody ambience and textured production.
Beyond the sound that Vile has been shaping, it is his nuanced and introspective songwriting that has received much of the attention. Although many compare him to Neil Young or Tom Petty, Vile's ethos can be tied closely to his '90s indie rock heroes, such as Pavement and Guided By Voices. As he found his way as a songwriter, the DIY attitude of that era served as a roadmap of sorts.
"If you look at my early Matador singles and EPs, where I was working a lot at home, there's always kind of psychedelic segues and B-sides. Very much like '90s-eque Pavement," he said, noting that "it wasn't until 2006 when I'd learned how to self-edit and began moving to more high fidelity. There were many steps to that."
Those steps would lead him to the exquisite Wakin on A Pretty Daze, in which Vile created an expansive song set that reflected his love of his music icons' classic albums.
"I loved the Smoke Ring record, but the last record was more sprawled out and epic. It always evolves on so many levels."
As such, Vile emulates the disciplines of songwriters like Nick Cave and Neil Young by devoting himself to the craft of writing and being ever-ready to capture his ideas.
"I am an introverted songwriter," he explained. "I can write in my head, come up with a riff earlier, and then get it down in my iPhone later."
And with that, Vile now has the material together for his next album.
"I'm at the next step in my song cycle where I'm putting pen to paper. I have a record mapped out," he said. "There's an inertia in general because the tour is booked. It can be nerve-wracking and exciting."
Certainly one of Vile's strengths has been the ability to create thoughtful, engaging, sometimes eccentric albums that hold their own in the realm of commercial music. Where many "indie rock" contemporaries scoff at the idea of writing singles, or even considering how to break out of the constraints of indie rock expectations, Vile seems content to keep aiming for a broader target.
"I would love to make pop records that hit people in some sort of '70s commercial way," he said. "Me and my band, we have the chops to strive to make FM–influenced music and be able to deliver it in a not-ironic way. Guitar prowess that's not a throwback...but it is rock and roll."
As Vile makes his way on this new tour and begins the next phase of his career, he's in a position that most independent artists would envy. He is signed to Matador Records, a label that he dreamed of working with. (Matador was/is home to some of Vile's biggest influences, most notably Pavement).
As such, Vile has been able to support his family and his bandmates through a combination of album sales, licensing and a full schedule of touring and festival dates. In his opinion, his ever-growing success reflects the nature of the music industry.
"There are a lot of people that are successful today," he said. "Things are always changing, the game is always changing, and you have to find what works for you. There will always be ebbs and flows. We're making a living."

How does a smoke filled path affect the weapon "Doom?" Since the weapon is mental and doesn't need line of sight to use, but rather uses counted circles that may be out of path, is Karl Zermann afflicted by the effects of smoke, thus rendering him only able to attack circles adjacent to him? If he is unnaffected by the circle adjacency limitation of smoke, is he affected by the -2 dice roll?

Doom is limited by smoke in the same way than any other weapon. This was cleared up officially some time ago after some confusion. A contradicting answer even made it into an official FAQ, but it was reversed later.

The token rings are "Gold" for heroes and "Silver" for troopers.

Oh so I just played my first game in Tannhauser. BTW awsome as is everything FF that I have played. so we ran into this Commado Alpha was on Overwatch and the other faction had a solider on overwatch that could see Alpha. A third solider activated in the same area as Alpha. Who attacks first Alpha or the person on Overwatch…aka can you overwatch and overwatch? Again this was my second day looking at the game so I may have completely missed the rule.
Posted 13 February 2013 - 05:29 AM
As I understand it, both you and your opponent have a character on overwatch on the same path. So if one of your characters on that said path activates, your opponent's character on overwatch may attack. If on the other hand one of your opponent's characters activates, your character on overwatch may attack. And if your character on overwatch attacks, I don't think this attack will trigger an overwatch attack from the opposing character. The point is, a character on overwatch may interrupt the active character's activation, but a character on overwatch is not the active character.
Posted 08 April 2013 - 03:43 PM
I agree.. I believe that you forgo a "classic" activation when you elect to go on overwatch. If you execute an overwatch attack,it is just that (i.e use of overwatch potential) and is not classified as an activation. Therefore, that character is not subject to a counter overwatch attack since that character did not "activate".
My first foray into Tannhauser help..Hope it was useful!
p.s Miah.. Huge fan of the Tannhauser vids!! Please do some more!!!!

Casting Couch: Krysten Ritter Gets Tim Burton's Attention, Ray Liotta to Play Another Cop, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the casting news roundup that always keeps its promises. Yesterday we promised we'd be back soon with Cinderella's second evil stepsister, and today we deliver. Given her spindly, spider-like limbs, her silky black hair, and her porcelain skin, it was probably only a matter of time before Krysten Ritter ended up acting in a Tim Burton movie. The girl is basically goth catnip. So, appropriately enough, a report out of Deadline is saying that she just joined Burton's next project, Big Eyes. This one will see Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams portraying 50s and 60s art sensations Walter and Margaret Keane, and Ritter playing Margaret's outgoing friend, DeeAnn, who urges her to come out of her shell and stop letting her fast-talking husband take credit for her weird paintings of kids with big eyes.
Review: 'The Iceman' Kills It With Great Performances and Cinematography
Movie Reviews By Caitlin Hughes on May 2, 2013 | Comments (1)When you see in a film synopsis that Michael Shannon is going to play a serial killer/hitman, it's safe to assume that you are poised to see an amazing performance. And, yes, in Ariel Vromen's The Iceman (Vromen co-wrote with Morgan Land), Shannon more than fulfills your hopes and dreams as real-life serial killer turned mob hitman Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski. He claims to have killed over 100 men over the course of his killing career while at the same time being a fiercely devoted husband and father to his wife Deborah (Winona Ryder) and their daughters. The film perhaps suffers from some structuring issues, making Kuklinski's story somewhat fuzzy at times, but on the whole, it delivers with its amazing performances from Shannon and the stellar ensemble cast, as well as with its beautiful, unrelentingly dark cinematography.
Review: 'The Place Beyond the Pines' Is a Fantastic View of Parallel Lives
Movie Reviews By Andrew Robinson on March 29, 2013 | Comments (4)Note: Andrew Robinson's review originally ran during TIFF 2012, but we're re-running it now as the film opens in limited theatrical release. Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines is broken up into three chapters. We open with Luke (Ryan Gosling) coming back into town with the circus and finding out that he has a son. He decides to stick around, but since he's unable to make a living to support his family, he begins robbing banks using his skills as a professional motor bike rider. The narrative is then handed over to Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper), a police officer heading into politics and struggling with family matters. The film takes its time in making sure that we get a good grasp on each character as there's very little overlap in screen time between each. The reckless rise of Gosling's bank robbing spree and the troubled rise of Cooper's political/social standing in the world parallel one another beautifully. What the film truly discusses is what someone is willing to do selflessly for others. While, morally, Cooper and Gosling's acts are complete opposites of each other, their motivations start out in the same place, the intention to provide for their family. Luke's robbing banks was never about himself; he never wants to take credit for them, reflecting his clear shame. Cross's actions are one of motivations head-butting his own desires, even at the expense of his son's affection.
Casting Couch: Latest 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Rumors, Questions Swirl Regarding Bill Hader and 'Baywatch'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? Today it's the casting roundup with news about a talking raccoon, a frog puppet, a famous dog, a beautiful woman, and David Hasselhoff's shorts. So far Marvel's next big thing, The Guardians of the Galaxy, has been a great source of casting rumors, but not yet a generator of any casting confirmations. We've heard about a bevy of actors who might play Star-Lord, a handful who might be Drax the Destroyer, and now the Latino Review is reporting that director James Gunn and company are reaching out to both Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler to inquire about their availability for the film. What roles might they play? Perhaps they could provide the voices for either the big tree guy, Groot, or the little raccoon guy, Rocket Raccoon. I mean, it would just be too weird if either of them actually showed up playing a live action role, wouldn't it? Definitely. Even hearing Sandler's one goofy voice he uses coming out of a CG character's mouth would just be too weird already. Let's hope that rumor is completely off base.
Casting Couch: 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Adds Three More Actors You Like, Kate Winslet Will Help Alan Rickman Create 'A Little Chaos,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the casting column that lives on because Kate Erbland was goodly enough to step in and keep it going for a couple days. Let's all thank Kate. Thanks, Kate. Usually when movies are already filmed it means that their casting process has been completed. Not so for a Robert Rodriguez film, though. This guy does pretty much every job on his sets and relies on studio assistance for very little, which allows him to play by his own rules and march to the beat of his own drummer. Sometimes that opportunity for flexibility can result in movies that feel like they've been slapped together by a madman, but sometimes it leads to a movie being able to make amazing last minute additions, like how his in-production Sin City sequel just added Ray Liotta, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Piven to its already-stacked cast. Indiewire isn't sure which characters they're going to be playing, but probably that doesn't matter much. Liotta and Piven always just play themselves, and Temple, well…she can do anything she wants.
Andrew Dominik, 'Killing Them Softly' Director: "I'm Not Interested in Ordinary People"
Features By Jack Giroux on November 30, 2012 | Comments (1)Killing Them Softly is both a surprising and unexpected return for director Andrew Dominik, whose name has been missing from the big screen for five long years. What's most surprising about the film is that it's not much more commercial than his previous film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, a movie which didn't nearly get its due back in 2007. His latest film is, however, unsurprising in terms of theme: the power of the dollar. After Jesse James didn't light the world on fire financially, Dominik found it difficult to get other projects off the ground, so money must have been on his mind. And, according to Dominik, it was, and that's a part of how we got his new political crime picture, Killing Them Softly. Here is what writer and director Andrew Dominik had to say about the film's slightly cartoonish approach, why the crime genre is so appealing, and the trials and tribulations caused by Jesse James:
Review: 'Killing Them Softly' Provokes As It Entertains
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on November 30, 2012 | Comments (4)After only about five people paid to see Andrew Dominik's beautifully poetic The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the popular belief was that any director in that position would follow up his ambitious financial failure with something more commercial. While Killing Them Softly has far more public appeal than Jesse James, Dominik has fortunately made another film unafraid to polarize. Set in 2008, following the economic collapse, mobsters have been seeking easier ways to make a quick buck or two, there is no clear order left, and, in this America, as the smooth contract killer Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) puts it, you're on your own. Cogan — who's sort of the protagonist — is brought down to New Orleans after a series of robberies hit Markie Trattman's (Ray Liotta) poker games. With criminals afraid to play and spend their money, it's Cogan's job to get them back to playing, by finding the two men responsible for the latest theft, two big time losers named Frankie (Scoot McNairy, now holding the record for the most number of irritating characters in a single year) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn). This reads as all fairly simple, but there's more to this story than the trailers have been leading us to believe. Killing Them Softly is, in fact, almost more of an angry, loud voicemail left for the politicians who aren't all that different from the lost, scrambling criminals we see in the film.
Review: 'The Details' Could Have Used a Lot More Devil In It
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHollywood does not look favorably upon suburbia. It's understandable of course, what with all the illusory perfection and white picket fences, but from Little Children to American Beauty to Home Alone we've seen time and again that surface innocence hides infidelity, unhappiness and abandoned children setting deadly traps made from household items. That trend continues with Tobey Maguire's latest film where he plays Jeff Lang, a man who seems to have it all. A beautiful wife, a healthy little boy, a job and a home in the suburbs… what more could he want? But when a raccoon starts digging holes in his perfect back yard a chain of events is set in motion that threatens it all. The links in that chain, henceforth known as the details, are a mix of the mundane and the ridiculous, and almost without exception they see Lang behaving like a complete and utter bastard. There are laughs along the way, but as one bad domino after another falls before him he grows further and further away from a believable character we can relate to, and therein lay the film's biggest issue. Things become a bit too outrageous and Maguire's dueling expressions of surprise and bemusement aren't enough to carry viewers along.
'The Details' Trailer Is Mostly Just Tobey Maguire Acting Like a Jerk
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 24, 2012 | Comments (3)Though Mean Creek director Jacob Aaron Estes' latest project, The Details, debuted all the way back at Sundance 2011, it's just finally gearing up for a real theatrical release come November 2. Why has it sat on the shelf for so long? Maybe it's just because the idea of watching Spider-Man act like a jerk for a couple of hours is something of a hard sell. From the looks of the film's new trailer, The Details is a character drama that sees Tobey Maguire cheating on his wife, banging Ray Liotta's wife, getting another woman pregnant, contemplating murder, toilet training raccoons, appreciating latte art, chatting with Kerry Washington, chatting with Dennis Haysbert, and trying out religion. Okay, so maybe there isn't anything wrong with those last few things, but the first couple are pretty bad. Is this going to be the sort of lead character who audiences can relate to?
TIFF 2012 Review: Despite a Fiery Michael Shannon, 'The Iceman' Will Leave You Cold
Movie Reviews By Nathan Adams on September 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWriter/director Ariel Vromen (Rx) has chosen an interesting subject for his latest film, The Iceman; a New Jersey native named Richard Kuklinski who served as a mob hitman and killed somewhere between 100 and 250 people between the mid 50s and mid 80s, all without his wife and kids having any idea how he put food on the table. Vromen's film follows Kuklinski from the point where he met his lady love and first got into organized crime back in the 50s, all the way to his capture and incarceration in 1986. It explores his psyche, his methods, and the way New Jersey fashions have gotten increasingly more ridiculous as the decades have gone on. Oh yeah, and one more thing… it's got Michael Shannon playing the title role. Given what an intense, captivating actor Shannon has developed into over the years, any movie that puts him in a starring role is pretty explicitly setting up his performance as being its main attraction, so it feels necessary to spend a lot of time talking about how he does. Unsurprisingly, he's good. Kuklinski was best known for being merciless and unflappable, and Shannon gets that across by doing a silent, stone-faced, De Niro type thing that feels authentic in its competence and menace. As his turn in Take Shelter proved, Shannon is best when he's got repressed emotions boiling just beneath the surface of his skin, and the role of the dangerous killer playing wholesome family man gives him multiple chances […]
'The Iceman' Trailer: Michael Shannon Growing Mustaches and Blowing People's Heads Off
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 30, 2012 | Comments (2)t's been a big week for Michael Shannon. Just seven days ago his latest film, Premium Rush, hit theaters and earned the man heaps of critical praise for his quirky, Dick Tracy villain performance as a dirty cop; and now the trailer for his latest starring vehicle, The Iceman, has hit the net. This is big news because, oh boy, does this true telling of the life of contract killer Richard Kuklinski look like it's going to be a doozy. Detailing the life of a hired gun all the way from the late '60s to the early '80s, The Iceman doesn't just give Shannon a chance to do that intense, conflicted, rolling sea of emotions just beneath the surface of his skin thing that he does so well, it also gives him the opportunity to experiment with all sorts of ridiculous facial hair combinations. Oh wait, and who's that? Why, it's Captain America himself, Chris Evans, and his sleazy Lemmy beard looks like it wants to get in on the action too.
'Killing Them Softly' Trailer Highlights the Absurdity, Violence and Style of Andrew Dominik's Third Feature
Movie News By Rob Hunter on August 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAndrew Dominik is not a prolific director. After bursting onto the scene in 2000 with the violent biographical tale Chopper he waited seven years before releasing the critically acclaimed The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford with Brad Pitt. The film was universally praised by critics, but theater-goers have notoriously short attention spans meaning most of them moved on to something else before they even finished reading the title. (The 'something else' in this case was a one-two punch of Resident Evil: Extinction and Good Luck Chuck, so shame on you America.) Five years later and Dominik is finally returning to the screen, and he's bringing Pitt along with him. Killing Them Softly is a blackly humorous crime thriller about a pair of low-rent amateurs who rob the wrong poker game. Pitt plays a mob man brought in to find and handle the pair, and the film follows his efforts arrange for their demise while interacting with the local criminal element. The film is an adaptation of George V Higgins' 1974 novel Cogan's Trade, and while it updates the story to the modern day it keeps the Boston setting that has served the genre so well over the years. Pitt's joined by Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard, Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot McNairy. Our own Simon Gallagher was a big fan when he saw it at Cannes, and now the rest of us can get a taste as well with the debut of the highly […]
Cannes Review: Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly' Is An Artfully Crafted Take on the Gangster Genre
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 22, 2012 | Comments (1)Andrew Dominik always had an ominous mountain to climb with his next feature, having polarized opinion with The Assassination Of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford, that most tonal and visually textured of revisionist Westerns, but with Killing Them Softly he has certainly at least avoided the black hole that tends to suck young talents perilously down into obscurity. He might not, however, have scored a huge commercial hit. Taking a leaf out of Jesse James's book, Killing Them Softly is effectively a post-gangster film, deconstructing the genre and smashing it against the oh-so-contemporary wall built by recessions and austerity measures. The label might still seem to read "gangster," with the presence of wise guys and henchmen presiding over their own lawless patches of the murky underbelly of normal society, but gone is the aspirational elements of Goodfellas and Casino in favor of a tight-belted, thoroughly modern revision of the gangster ideal. For all intents and purposes, this is the cut-price Cosa Nostra.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: February 24, 2012
Features By Kevin Carr on February 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr fights a battle of wits between the stuffy and overly dramatic Oscar contenders that will be buzzing through the weekend and the genre-specific schlock that is being released with no hope of winning any sort of award at all. Before hunkering down on the couch to watch Billy Crystal time warp back into the mid-90s on Sunday, Kevin skydives into the multiplex to check out Act of Valor. Then he joins a commune to be a modern hippie while watching Wanderlust. Finally, he leaves the multiplex to stalk Amanda Seyfried and her on-screen sister because he believes he's at least as creepy as the legions of creepy guys in Gone. Oh, and that Tyler Perry movie? He skips that with a wave of the hand and a snap of the fingers. If it ain't got Madea in it, it ain't worth watching!
Ray Liotta Will Be Corrupted In 'A Place Beyond the Pines'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on June 27, 2011 | Comments (1)Talk about non-traditional casting. According to Variety, Ray Liotta is going to play a corrupt cop in A Place Beyond the Pines. Can you even imagine it? Can you even wrap your mind tightly enough around the concept of Liotta being, not only a police officer, but one that's not totally above board in order to envision how it might play out? Neither can I. Sarcasm aside, even if it is the most obvious kind of typecasting, Derek Cianfrance has got a ton of skill and a lot of talent lined up for his movie that sees Ryan Gosling as a motor cycle racer/bank robber being chased down by Bradley Cooper with a badge. Who better than Liotta to bring a sense of gravitas to a very necessary and particular role? At any rate, it proves the old saying about the corrupt cop character: If you build it, he will come.
Kevin Carr reviews this week's new movies: Observe and Report, Hannah Montana: The Movie, Dragonball: Evolution and Anvil!: The Story of Anvil.
We've seen Hollywood do paint-by-numbers comedy. Heck, we've even recently seen a paint-by-numbers mall cop comedy. But if there's anything we can say definitively about Jody Hill's Observe and Report, it is that it doesn't give a f–k about painting or numbers.

1975 & 2010 A double trip report. Day 2 - Islands of Adventure
Pre-trippie here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2558071
Day 1 here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2594850 We are: Me, Theresa My DH Tony (Tony64) My sister Mandy (MandyJane) My Brother-in-law Peter (FleetPete) My Nephew Andrew (16) My Nephew Kieran (12) And dd Maddie (MaddieB) Sunday 17th October Despite having quite a late night, we woke up at 4.15 and couldnt get back to sleep. We poked our heads out of our room (our Master suite was next to the lounge) and saw that Kieran was already up, so we made pots of tea and coffee and popped some cinnamon rolls in the oven for breakfast. It wasnt long before everyone was up and we were out of the door by 7.30 am, arriving at the gates of Islands of Adventure by 8.30. Nearly there: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures025.jpg Eagerly awaiting rope-drop: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures026.jpg We were let through the turnstiles almost straight away. There was a rope drawn across the far end of Port of Entry, however we were allowed through after just a few minutes wait. With the rest of the hordes, we raced through Suess Landing (some people were sprinting like their life depended on it), taking a short cut around the side of Green Eggs and Ham, to Wizarding World of Harry Potter. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures081.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures087.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures029.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures038.jpg The theming is fabulous, but we tried hard not to stop and look at anything as our goal was to get to The Forbidden Journey as quickly as possible. We grabbed a locker, threw our things in, and joined the queue. There are so many great features inside Hogwarts as you queue talking pictures etc, but the queue was moving too fast to take it all in, plus we had put our cameras in the locker so couldnt take photos anyway! Near to the front of the queue, we were split into two groups as Mandy thought she would be more comfortable in the modified seats (in fact, I think she would have been ok in the regular ones), so they were ahead of us in a different line. As Tony, Maddie and I got to the front, the ride broke down. Knowing the others were already on it, we laughed at the thought that they could be stuck in the spider part we had heard about and they were! Mandy hates spiders so had to keep her eyes tightly shut until it moved again. Apparently, she was right next to Aragog! :scared1::scared1::scared1: We all enjoyed the ride and agreed we would come back to it another time, as the queue was lengthening rapidly. After that, we did the Hippogriff ride (no wait) and then Dragon Challenge (5 min wait). So by 10 am we had done all three rides in Wizarding World. Its definitely worth getting to the park early as by now the place was absolutely heaving with people. The queue for Olivanders was ridiculous and there was also a slow-moving queue to get into Dervishes and Banges, so we gave them a miss for now. We looked around Zonkos and Honeydukes, where we bought chocolate cauldron cakes to have with our butterbeer! We all tried it and took the necessary photos of foam around our mouths. Cauldron cakes: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures035.jpg Me: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures075.jpg Maddie: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures074.jpg Mandy: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures072.jpg Tony: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures070.jpg Peter: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures069.jpg Somehow, the boys managed to avoid the indignity. We had our photo taken with the Station Master by Hogwarts express. We are all attempting a magic spell. It didnt work the masses of people remained. Too many muggles watching us, apparently. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures088.jpg Maddie and Kieran outside Honeydukes: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures039.jpg As everywhere was now extremely busy, we decided to come back to Wizarding World later in the day and made our way around the rest of the park; Jurassic Park, Suess Landing and Spiderman, stopping for lunch at midday and splitting into two groups. Tony and I went to Mythos and Maddie went with the others to Burger Digs. Our lunch at Mythos was excellent as usual. I had crab cake sliders with watermelon salsa and creamy potato salad so delicious. Tony had the filet steak and we shared the gooey chocolate banana cake, which we love. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures041.jpg We met up with the others and for some crazy reason thought it was a good idea to go on Popeye and Blutos Bilge Rat Barges. We know you get soaked on this ride, and we didn't want to get soaked, but we did it anyway! Andrew, very sensibly, decided to sit out this ride and took a photo of us instead: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures138.jpg We really were completely drenched. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures047.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures093.jpg We had to walk up to Wizarding World, dripping all the way. We went into the restrooms to try and wring out our clothes, but it didnt help much. We squelched around the shops at Wizarding World, which were probably even busier than before, but at least people gave us a wide berth when they saw how wet we were. Maddie bought a quidditch shirt, a gryffindor crest banner and some Harry Potter tumblers, then some of us joined the queue to get into Dervish and Banges, and in fact it was the longest queue of the day! Its such a cramped shop so it cant accommodate many people at a time. We bought some postcards (surprisingly there are only four different ones, so we bought them all) and Maddie bought a photo frame. We had all the postcards stamped with the owl post postmark when we got outside. Then it was time for wand-buying! It's a serious business, making sure you get the right one. Here's Kieran trying them out before settling on Dumbledore's. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures050.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ictures140.jpg We were still very wet and tiredness was beginning to creep in by now and we decided to go back to the villa. After showering and changing into dry clothes we popped out to Walmart and picked up ribs, chicken, pizza, salad and garlic texas toast for dinner, plus a tray of mixed cheesecake slices and some Ben and Jerry ice-cream that we cant get in England (Peanut Brittle and Milk and Cookies). There were lots of other lovely flavours including one called Everything But The which really did seem to have everything yummy in it. Wed had a really lovely day and the only bad bit was when I dropped my camera getting out of the car and it no longer focused properly. Maddie said to leave it as shes always dropping electronic things(!) and they usually work fine by the next day. We watched a bit of American football then fell into bed. Tomorrow: Typhoon Lagoon and the Mystery of the Disappearing Family Members. |
Great day fab pics too, I can't wait to try butter beer :)
Sounds like a great day - you sure did get wet :)
I don't mean this as hollow flattery to you and Mandy and certainly don't mean to indicate that Maddie looks older than her years but honestly, take a look at the sequence of beer lips and tell me, doesn't it look like you're three sisters? WDW seems to work like a time travel tonic for you and Mandy. Don't they say that a genuine smile works like a good face lift? |
I love all your butterbeer photos. :goodvibes
Love the butterbeer photos
A great day Theresa. Sounds like you enjoyed some tasty food too at Mythos and from Walmart. Lovely sounding Ben & Jerrys
- I love peanut brittle. Can't wait to visit WWoHP sometime in the future it looks amazing Tam |
great update - some lovely pictures:thumbsup2
Looks like you had a great day, I love IOA, it is an amzing park, especially with WWOHP now within it :goodvibes
Looking forward to day 3 :thumbsup2 |
Great day, love all your photos :goodvibes
What a fun-packed first day. Your comments about the rope drop sprint, made me wonder if that still happens at other parks. For years our MO was to arrive before official opening, but I can't remember the last time we did it. I can't wait to visit WWoHP, but I'm praying it will be quiet for us when our time comes.
The others don't know what they missed by passing over Mythos for Burger Digs! It's too long since we last ate there. We always say we'll leave the wet rides until last, but then end up not doing them at all. I think the only thing for it is to get drenched and to hell with it. Maddie looks about as impressed as I do when I get my hair wet, though! :teeth: I hope there will be some photos of the villa at some stage. I love to see the accommodation and you always seem to strike lucky on that count. |
Another great day Theresa, your photos are lovely ::yes:: I can't believe how busy WWOHP still is
I look forward to your next update :) |
Mythos was fab. We never pass up a chance to eat there. |
Theresa the tash looks quite good on you...ya wear it well.:lmao:
fab day and you managed to avoid the long queues. |
I always end up buying a new dress when getting wet at IoA. I must remember to pack an spare dress with me next time.
Great photos Susan |

I bought this book because it is "classic" by James Beard, but it is not the best book available if you want to learn to bake bread. If you really want to learn to make good breads of varied types, I would highly recommend that you buy yourself a scale and then get a copy of "Baking Artisan Bread" by Ciril Hitz. You will learn the art of "artisan" breads and bake amazing breads right from the start.

My sons call me "Beard" - so I had to get this book; Elizabeth David also recommended it. It is very American (everything in "cups") - but the methods are clear and the text entertaining.
Sep 26, 2011
It's a CLASSIC - must read if interested in Bread!

.- On April 28, the universal Church will celebrate the feast day of Louis-Marie de Monfort, a 17th century saint who is revered for his intense devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
St. Louis-Marie is perhaps most famously known for his prayer of entrustment to Our Lady, "Totus Tuus ego sum," which means, "I am all yours." The late-Pope John Paul II took the phrase "Totus Tuus" as his episcopal motto.
Born in Montfort, Brittany, on January 31, 1673, St. Louis-Marie possessed a strong devotion to the Blessed Sacrament as a child was and intimately devoted to the Blessed Virgin, especially through the Rosary. He took the name Marie at his confirmation.
The saint manifested a love for the poor while he was at school and joined a society of young men who ministered to the poor and the sick on school holidays. When he was 19, he walked 130 miles to Paris to study theology, gave all he had to the poor that he met along the way and made a vow to live only on alms. After his ordination at 27, he served as a hospital chaplain until the management of the hospital resented his reorganization of the staff and sent him away.
St. Louis-Marie discovered his great gift for preaching at the age of 32, and committed himself to it vigorously for the rest of his life. He met with such great success that he often drew crowds of thousands to hear his sermons in which he encouraged frequent communion and devotion to Mary.
But he also met with opposition, especially from the Jansenists, a heretical movement within the Church that believed in absolute Predestination, in which only a chosen few are saved, and the rest damned. Much of France was influenced by Jansenism, including many bishops, who banished St. Loius-Marie from preaching in their dioceses. He was even poisoned by Jansenists in La Rochelle, but survived, though suffered ill health after.
While he recuperated from the effects of the poisoning, he wrote the masterpiece of Marian piety, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, which he correctly prophesied would be hidden by the devil for a time. His seminal work was discovered 200 years after his death.
One year before he died, St. Louis-Marie founded two congregations: the Daughters of Divine Wisdom – which tended to the sick in hospitals and the education of poor girls, and the Company of Mary, missionaries devoted to preaching and to spreading devotion to Mary.
