A darkly comic whodunit about greed, deceit, and romantic deception, Goodbye Lover stars Patricia Arquette as Sandra, a seemingly moral and obsessively cheerful woman who sells real estate and is fascinated by the movie The Sound Of Music.… More A darkly comic whodunit about greed, deceit, and romantic deception, Goodbye Lover stars Patricia Arquette as Sandra, a seemingly moral and obsessively cheerful woman who sells real estate and is fascinated by the movie The Sound Of Music. But Sandra has a secret; while she's married to Jake (Dermot Mulroney), an ad executive who is having problems with both his career and his drinking, she's having an affair with his brother, Ben (Don Johnson), a successful public relations man. Ben, on the other hand, is already dallying with Peggy (Mary-Louise Parker), a woman on his staff who is beautiful but insecure, though she has a darker side few people know about. When Ben decides to break it off with Sandra so he can pursue his relationship with Peggy, Sandra is furious, and, knowing Jake would be just as angry, tells him about their affair. A vengeful Jake confronts Ben, which leads to a knock-down, drag-out fight -- and Ben's death, as he falls from a window. Ben leaves behind a hefty insurance settlement, and soon the surviving characters are scrambling over the money. Enter Police Detective Rita Pompano (Ellen DeGeneres), who has seen too much in her time on the force to not develop a deep cynicism about the people she protects -- or to not be tempted to get in on the payday herself. Goodbye Lover was directed by Roland Joffé, in something of a departure from his best-known work in high-minded dramas such as The Killing Fields and The Mission.
Consensus: Half-baked plot twists disorient rather than build drama.
A neo-noir that puts the 'lack' in black comedy!
Full review…It carefully sets up a powder keg of conflicting relationships and affairs but instead of building the natural tension, it opts for a series of gotcha's.
A poorly-paced bland crime drama that has all the twists and turns of a 'Bewitched' episode.
Full review…Goodbye Lover is not so much a story as some kind of a board game, with too many pieces and not enough rules.
Full review…A slice of old-school Noir. Arquette makes for a terrific femme fatale.
It's all directed with a eye to coarse, tongue in cheek caricature that's an uncomfortable fit with the material and undermines the lowbrow fun.
A high-quality bad movie!
The film rocks with high-caliber performances especially by Ellen DeGeneres!
Full review…The shoddy, decidedly unglamorous photography makes everything look cheap and the principals' complexions veritable roadmaps of creases and wrinkles.
Full review…

When will New England Patriots TE Zach Sudfeld be added to the player pool? Thanks
Doe1989 Apr 13 '79
try searching for him in the little name search bar at the top left of the "players" page (right above the 'name' column that lists all the available player names).
he's there but not drafted often so may not show up automatically.
but i think he's got a chance to be special

Nokia X3-02 Reviews
Average Rating:
There is currently 1 review avaliable for the topic: Nokia X3-02.
Before buying this phone I've had different mobile phone experiences with both bigger touch phones and smaller "old style" traditional mobiles. This phone looked really promising to me as it had alot of the modern technology like a touch screen and old fashioned buttons.Experience
When I first got the phone I must admit that I was alittle dissapointed that all of the buttons were not placed like on a traditional Nokia phone and escspesially the fact that the "0" button which is used to enter spaces were alittle off. Clicking that button almost makes the phone fall out of my hand since it requires you to move the phone onto your fingertips to reach that button and the back side of the phone is really slippery. Therefor I find myself using the phone with both hands alot - which is of course a pretty big set back since that's the only reason I have trouble operating it with just one hand. However apart from this the phone is really great - it's fast and simple. I use it for calling (obviously), texting, some browsing, e-mail and facebook. And all of that is working good with the X2.PROs
- Small
- Handy
- Elegant
- Fast
- Cheap
- Good battery
- Buttons are alittle off
- Back side of the phone is very slippery
- Gets very warm when playing games on it
- Few apps avaliable
- Doesn't have Android

May Elizabeth Feel free to talk about body mods (tattoos, piercings, tribal scarification) here. Either things you already have and things you want. Even your own opinion on body mods. :) 9/17/2010 #1 |
callmebrighteyes I'm a ridiculous fan of font tattoos, simple word ones. I want the line "whatever they sing is better than to know" from an e e cummings poem somewhere, and an abstract compass rose, with the letters of the directions maybe on my back. I'm also thinking about piercings...maybe an industral, and if I had better lips, a labret. (But alas!! Mine are tiny. :O ) What do you guys think of back lacing? Face tattoos? 9/17/2010 #2 |
May Elizabeth Um, ya'll know I love body mods on myself and others. What I have: http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/raven_tiger/Pics%20of%20Me/SexyTAT-1.jpg http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/raven_tiger/Pics%20of%20Me/PICT0027-1.jpg http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/raven_tiger/Pics%20of%20Me/Patience1-1.jpg http://pics3.vampirefreaks.com/R/Ra/Rav/Raven_Tiger/37064761.jpg http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/raven_tiger/Pics%20of%20Me/PICT0021-2-1.jpg The last one isn't finished, some of the lines need thickening and it needs to be more detailed. As for piercings I have two holes in each ear that are gauged to 12/16. I need to take pics of that. LOL What I Want: Four small daisies and a rose on my right clavicle-shoulder: the four daisies are for my bro, mom, aunt, and grandma. The rose stands for my childhood love (her middle name is Rose). A tribal raven on my left shoulder blade. A tribal phoenix on my right shoulder blade. For piercings: Industrial: http://bodypiercing.ygoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/industrial-piercing.jpg Vertical Labret: http://media.urbandictionary.com/image/large/verticallabret-5711.jpg Eyebrow: http://onlinehealthtips.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/eyebrow1.jpg I want to gauge the first hole in each ear to a 10/16: http://i33.tinypic.com/veslmh.jpg EDIT: FRAGILE: I LOVE your tat ideas. Vertical Labrets are hard to pull off, i would say spider bites for thin lips. 9/17/2010 . Edited 9/17/2010 #3 |
skyward squidly squee Hm. Tattoos. One of my cousins has asked me to design one for them. I've considered tattoos for myself but have no idea what I want. I'm also going to mention seeing someone with a Mushroomhead tattoo at Walmart. 8P My grandma once asked my thoughts on tattoos and we discussed them for a while; she said tiny, meaningful ones might be okay (the example she gave was the tattoo one of my other cousins got on her ankle for my grandma's late husband, our grandpa) but that, y'know, bigger ones were--I don't know, but I got that she didn't like them. I kind of feel like tattoos could be an outer expression of something inside us people wouldn't see otherwise. Thinking of this, I remember this amazing one I saw a picture of on dA; with the tattoo it was like someone's arm had been sown shut but was pulled open a little, and there were butterflies and all kinds of exploding awesome-ness leaking out. :3 Hn. Piercings. I've considered them as well. Mostly snake bites or a tongue piercing. xp I'm just as likely to not get one, though. I don't have anything against most, but I also don't understand getting a lot of the piercings people get. 8P Back lacing? What is that? And face tattoos. Well, what exactly do you mean by that, either? I'm just thinking of Emilie Autumn's little red heart--make up, not a tattoo. And I think that's awesome; I kind of want to get the stuff to do little purple teardrops. (Can you guess why?) 9/17/2010 #4 |
May Elizabeth Squidy: you are awesome. Someone has a mushroomhead tattoo? as in the band? That's epic. 9/17/2010 #5 |
Isca Isky has a secret desire to undergo scarification. I'd like get "Arise" over my heart (because, you know, it would literally be 'arising' lol). 9/18/2010 #6 |
May Elizabeth I love that idea, Isky. lol 9/19/2010 #7 |
callmebrighteyes That IS a really cool idea. How do they do scarification? I think the most beautiful tattoo I've ever seen was a woman who had her lover's name raised on her neck in braille, because he was blind and so he could read it. It blew my mind. 9/19/2010 #8 |
Isca Fragile: That sounds like scarification to me lol. If he could read it with his hands, if it was 'raised,' then she had to have had some kind of scarification done (which just means that you cut or brand something into your flesh, and when it heals, your flesh is scarred/raised). I realize I just explained that horribly, so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarification 9/19/2010 #9 |
callmebrighteyes That sounds about right. And super icky. My body hurts thinking about it. But it still sounds cool. 9/19/2010 #10 |
DreamingEternal I have one thing to say about gaged ear-piercings: If they flap around when you walk, talk, etc, THEY"RE TOO BIG! In my opinion. I just think it looks silly. I like looking at other people's tattoos, but would never get one myself. I prefer a few isolated symbols over sleeves or really big ones. My lyrical poetry teacher last year told us he had a pheonix tattooed on his chest because his best friend died and had had the same tattoo. I think that is really sweet and symbolic, how he is saying his friend is born again from the flames of death through his memory of him. I've seen back-lacing a few times and i just think it looks icky. Plus, isn't it uncomfortable when you lean back against something? I think a lip ring or an eyebrow ring can look really good on some people, and multiple ear piercings is fine, but much more than that and i find it distracting and unattractive. 9/20/2010 #11 |
May Elizabeth The thing with gauging is that it has to be done slowly and correctly, if not you can tear the holes which can cause scarring and your ears will not ever be the same again. Even if you gauge them hugely if you take them out, your ear holes will (eventually, depending on how big the gauge is) go down to 16/16 (which is regular earring size). Dreaming: I LOVE your teacher's tattoo. It has such meaning of remembrance. Scarification is also another thing I would like to try. When I get married I would like to have my wife's name scarred somewhere on my body. Body mods to me are a work of art. To me it's beautiful. I can understand not getting carried away with it, and not everyone can handle certain piercings (I HATE monroes on people who cannot pull them off). 9/27/2010 #12 |
Isca "When I get married, I would like to have my wife's name scarred somewhere on my body." THAT. (I think that's brilliant, love.) 9/27/2010 #13 |
Creeping Collarbones I love font tattoos so much. I don't think I'd ever get one. Lately, I've been thinking about getting my lip pierced, but my mom would flip out if I even asked. 9/27/2010 #14 |
Isca CC: If you don't want to upset your mom, then you can always wait a few years, and get your lip pierced then. 9/28/2010 #15 |
Lyllyth Today in the locker room, the girl changing across from me started talking about wanting to get her nipples pierced. It skeeved me out. Especially since we used to be best friends in 4th and 5th grade, and I still sometimes think about her how she was back then--still cute and innocent. I wonder what happened. I'm kind of opposed to nipple-piercing in general. Especially for girls. I mean, most of the time you're just going to look silly if there's lumps in your shirt. And ouch! 10/1/2010 #16 |

Jose Abreu
Jose Abreu has reached base in each of his last 10 plate appearances
Aug 2, 2014, 12:45 PM EST
Jose Abreu hasn't been retired since Wednesday, and is on a 21-game hitting streak. One could argue he's having a pretty good season.
Jose Abreu is third-fastest in MLB history to reach 30 career home runs
Jul 26, 2014, 9:31 AM EST
Only Rudy York (1937) and Mark McGwire (1987) got there faster.
Giancarlo Stanton credits the Home Run Derby for rediscovering his swing
Jul 20, 2014, 6:55 PM EST
Hitters rarely credit the Home Run Derby when they perform well in the second half. Usually, they only blame it if they struggle. Giancarlo Stanton says the Derby helped him get locked in after slumping going into the All-Star break.
VIDEO: Jose Abreu takes the major league lead in home runs and RBI with three-run blast
Jul 1, 2014, 7:18 PM EST
Watch as White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu takes the major league lead in both home runs and RBI with this three-run homer Tuesday afternoon against the Angels …
Jose Abreu may reconsider his decision not to participate in the Home Run Derby
Jun 29, 2014, 9:40 PM EST
The Home Run Derby may yet get more exciting if Jose Abreu reconsiders his stance on not participating.
White Sox rookie slugger Jose Abreu not interested in participating in Home Run Derby
Jun 24, 2014, 8:44 PM EST
White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu entered play Tuesday with 22 home runs — third in MLB behind Edwin Encarnacion (24) of the Blue Jays and Nelson Cruz (23) of the Orioles. But the sensational rookie slugger doesn't have any desire to strut his stuff in the 2014 Home Run Derby at Target Field.

There is no mechanism within the PGIMER to rationalise the actual retail prices of medicines and surgical items, apart from ensuring discounts of 15% to 30% as per terms and conditions associated with allotment of shops on the campus.
Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) spokesperson Manju Wadwalkar confirmed this.
Sources revealed that Techno Medical Services Pvt Ltd (TMS), which markets 'Romsons' products in Chandigarh, had proposed to the GMCH-32 authorities to sell medical items like IV sets for as low as Rs 9 if given a chance to run a pharmacy on the hospital premises. Company sources said they could earn a healthy profit at even this low retail price, and also ensure the hospital enough revenue at the same time. Confronted on the matter, GMSH-16 medical superintendent Dr Rajiv Vadehra first tried to evade the question as to whether a particular brand of surgical instrument was needed for better treatment. "Go and ask the doctor who has prescribed the surgical instruments. He will tell you why he ordered for a particular brand. I am no surgeon and cannot comment on it; why should I?"
A PGIMER doctor, who did not wish to be named, said, "Doctors never prescribe a particular brand; we are doctors, not marketing executives. It would be unethical." Saurabh Gupta, the owner of a Sector 11 shop, confirmed this practice.
'Have no other option'Mubaseer, a 12-year-old from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, had come with his father, Mursaleem, to the PGIMER for a nose reconstruction surgery. Talking to HT, Mursaleem said he buys medicines from shops on the PGI campus and Khudda Lahora village. He said the price difference was too high. "In the case of medicines that I buy for my son, it varies from Rs 500 to 700."
He said patients had no other option but to buy the medicines being sold at higher prices. "Where else would I look in case of an emergency."
Shocking numbersAs one goes to different shops in PGI, one finds difference in prices of medicines and surgical items. The steepest fall in prices, however, is when one moves out of the campus itself. Here are the comparative figures: Trilok Medicals, advanced trauma centre, PGIArticle MRP Actual retail price DiscountBT set R110 R50 54.54%IV set R90 R50 44.44%Cannula R81 R50 39%AAR Medicos, new OPD block, PGIBT set R78 R44 43.6%IV set R70 R50 28.5%Cannula R81 R50 38.3%Family Chemists, Sector 11, ChdBT set R78 R31.20 60%IV set R70 R24.50 65%Cannula R81 R23.50 71%HOSPITAL MEDICAL AND SURGICAL STORE, GMSH-16BT set R78 R20 74.35%IV set R75 R18 76%Cannula R72 R36 50%Shubh Sidh Medical Store, Khudda Lahora villageBT set R78 R20 74.5%IV set R70 R10 85%Cannula R81 R15 81.5%Anil Chemists, Sector 6, panchkulaBT set R61 R25 59%IV set R70 R25 64.28%Cannula R65 R40 38.5%SAS Nagar civil hospitalBT set R78 R30 63.1%IV set R90 R20 77.7%Cannula NA NA NA

In this lesson, we will consider how to calculate the percent
yield from a reaction and the percent purity of the product
Related Topics:
Lessons on Chemistry
The yield is the amount of product you obtain from a reaction. Suppose we own a factory that makes fertilizers or paint. We will want the highest yield possible, for the lowest cost.
If we have a factory that makes medical drugs then the yield will still be important, but the purity of the product may be even more important. This is because the impurities may harm the people using the drugs.
The formula for percent yield is:
The medical drug aspirin is made from salicylic acid. 1 mole of salicylic acid gives 1 mole of aspirin. Given that the chemical formula for salicylic acid is C7H6O3 and the chemical formula for aspirin is C9H8O4.
In an experiment, 100.0 grams of salicylic acid gave 121.2 grams of aspirin. What was the percent yield?
Step 1: Calculate the Mr (relative molecular mass) of the substances.
Ar : C = 12, H = 1, O = 16
So, Mr : salicylic acid = 138, aspirin = 180.
Step 2: Change the grams to moles for salicylic acid
138 g of salicylic acid = 1 mole
So, 100 g = 100 ÷ 138 mole = 0.725 moles
Step 3: Work out the calculated mass of the aspirin.
1 mole of salicylic acid gives 1 mole of aspirin
So, 0.725 moles gives 0.725 moles of aspirin
0.725 moles of aspirin = 0.725 × 180 g = 130.5 g
So, the calculated mass of the reaction is 130.5 g
Step 4: Calculate the percent yield.
The actual mass obtained is 121.2 g
So, the percent yield = 121.2 ÷ 130.5 × 100% = 92.9%
The following video shows another example of calculating percent
Example: Consider a 3.52-g sample of CaCO3 (99.87% pure) in a
flask and a 100.0 mL sample of vinegar (5% acidity) in a graduated
cylinder. The combined mass of both reagents and containers is
255.98 g. After swirling the reaction mixture for about twenty
minutes, the combined mass of the reaction mixture and containers
is found to be 254.46 g. What is the percent yield of carbon
dioxide in this experiment?
The concepts of limiting reagent, theoretical yield, and percent
yield are discussed. A sample problem that resembles a typical
test question is included.
This video explains the concept of a limiting reactant (or a
limiting reagent) in a chemical reaction. He also shows you how to
calculate the limiting reactant and the percent yield in a
chemical reaction.
When we make something in a chemical reaction, and separate it from the final mixture, it will still have small amounts of other substances mixed with it. It will be impure.
The percent purity of a sample describes what proportion of that sample, by mass, is composed of a specific compound or element.
The formula for percent purity is:
The aspirin from the above experiment was not pure. 121.2 g of solid was obtained, but analysis showed that only 109.2g of it was aspirin. Calculate the percent purity of the product.
Percent purity = 109.2 ÷ 121.2 × 100% = 90.0%
Chalk is almost pure calcium carbonate. We can work out its purity by measuring how much carbon dioxide is given off. 10 g of chalk was reacted with an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid. 2.128 liters of carbon dioxide gas was collected at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
The equation for the reaction is
CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
Step 1: Calculate the Mr of calcium carbonate
Ar: Ca = 40, C = 12, O = 16)
Mr of CaCO3 = 100
Step 2: Calculate the grams from the volume
1 mole of CaCO3 gives 1 mole of CO2
1 mole of gas has a volume of 22.4 liters at STP.
22.4 liters of gas of gas is produced by 100 g of calcium carbonate
and 2.128 liters is produced by 2.128 ÷ 22.4 × 100 = 9.5 g
Step 3: Calculate the percent purity
There is 9.5 g of calcium carbonate in the 10 g of chalk.
Percent purity = 9.5 ÷ 10 × 100% = 95%
Percent purity lesson
We have 13.9 g sample of impure iron pyrite. The sample is heated
to produce iron(III) oxide and sulfur dioxide. If we obtained 8.02
g sample of iron(III) oxide, what was the percentage of iron
pyrite in the original sample?

Called into SMC Ducati dealers in Sheffield this mornig to check out the remote key recall as mentioned on a previous thread, which mine had already changed by previous owner, however their system showed a new recall that was issued on 14/09/12, showing " coolant ". It said that new batches had been sent to dealers, but SMC had not taken delivery yet, they think it is anti-freeze related ? They did not know anymore, so cant be more specific i am afraid.
It seems to be due to porous cylinder heads caused by the glycol based anti-freeze. Not sure why it effects Multis more than most other Ducatis.
It may extend to other models, but the dealer only mentioned multi's, hence why i posted in multi section and not general section.
They start the coolant campaign with the Multistrada, because they think Multistrada owners do most milage Other models will follow
"ducati.ms US forum" straight from TSB 12-003 Coolant AGIP PERMANENT SPEZIAL 1-liter container part # 90130011B Ducati has decided to implement a new engine coolant type. The product - AGIP PERMANENT SPEZIAL - has been tested under all use conditions and outperforms the previous coolant. The Multistrada 1200 is the first model implementing this product and all other bikes will follow. It was chosen due to the high average mileage covered by Owners of this motorcycle. Ducati requires it's dealers to replace the coolant on all M.Y. 2010, M.Y. 2011 and M.Y. 2012 Multistrada 1200s free of charge to the Owner (for both coolant and labor). The innovative features of this product provide improved protection for all parts contacting it. This coolant is easily recognizable by its pink color, it is pre-diluted and ready for use, and it must be changed every 48 months or 30,000 miles/ 48,000 km. Affected VIN range requiring application of the technical solution AFFECTED VINS COUNTRY VERSION From frame no. To frame no. USA, CDN, MEX ZDM12BLW4AB000023 ZDM12BLW4CB021022 CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION All final customers will be notified by Ducati via e-mail (if DMH has their address) or via postal service and they will contact you to schedule the appointment This update operation is valid up to 31 December 2013. After this date it will no longer be possible to view the operation and claim the reimbursement.
I'm going to give SMC a bell today as they supplied my bike - not heard anything from them though regarding this 'recall'
Mark, just spoke to Paul in Servicing down there and yes he is waiting on a batch of new coolant to be delivered. Might be an idea to contact him so you will be one of the first in line to get it sorted as it arrives.
Popped onto my dealers today and found that my 2012 Multi showed the recall on their system. Coolant ordered but no contact from Ducati yet but it will be changed soon.
how long do you estimate the dealers will need the bike for to do this recall? is it something that can be done while you wait?
I was told it would take up to two hours. What amazes me though is that Ducati themselves or dealer has not contacted me for the update! Has anybody been contacted or have we all found out just by chance?
Sat in dealers now, they say you have to have letter from Ducati advising of recall before they can proceed
I called in to ask about the remote key recall, this one came up on computer as a new recall. Mine was processed there and then without any paperwork or letter, just waiting for dealer to get stuff in
Dealer told me about the coolant change today. It'll be added to the list, along with the left hand side switchgear and the fork shims. I'll take the opportunity to switch back to the standard fork springs at the same time ...I'm 5.5kg lighter now and even with minimum front preload, it's too much! They'll be on Fleabay then, unless someone wants to put the heavier (7.5Nm) springs on their bike.
They just checked the VIN No for me and booked it in for a coolant change. I will have to mention the switchgear to them before i bring it in!
Ah...the left hand switchgear problem I have/had is that sometimes it gets 'sticky', so when you press the buttons nothing happens. Of course now Ducati have agreed to change it, it's working fine! ;-) Clutch is grabby though, so they are going to take another look (it was grabby before, but a bleed sorted that out). This time they are talking about swapping out the clutch slave....

I just can't figure out why this one addition, which has never given me a problem on any other mission, or even other maps in this very mission, is slowing it down so much. And it's not even like there's a huge amount of detail in this room either. Most of it is stock scenery that comes with the map!
I've never seen this happen. What is the enemy group? Try changing them to targs or something to see if it's the npc animations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The State of the Union is only as strong as XXX,
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: XXX: State of the Union (Bilingual) (DVD)
If you're going to make an action movie, think big; that's what I say. XXX: State of the Union thinks big - and then some. I'm not a huge fan of action films, but this one is truly the bee's knees (hey, I'm just trying to avoid saying "This film is awesome" here). I don't really see how anyone could be disappointed in this thriller. Is it realistic? Well, no - but action movies are never realistic. That's why they're called action movies and not documentaries. And, actually, the basic scenario brought to life here might be more possible that many people think - you'll never count me among the crowds chanting "It can't happen here." I'll admit, when I saw the film's PG-13 rating, I was a little wary. PG-13 never bodes well for violence and explosions and bloodshed and general destructive mayhem, but the lack of an R rating turned out to be meaningless here - as there is plenty of stuff that goes boom throughout the entire film.
America loves an anti-hero, especially one with the unsurpassed attitude and general bad-a, uh, steel-plated ba-, uh unsurpassed self-confidence of Darius Stone (Ice Cube). Nine years in a maximum-security prison, courtesy of a corrupt general now serving as Secretary of Defense, hasn't done anything to sugar-coat Stone's outlook on life. (Of course, only civilians can serve as Secretary of Defense, but let's just pretend we don't know that; while we're at it, let's also pretend that said Secretary of Defense is in charge of Presidential security, since the Secret Service is nowhere to be found in this movie). If you're NSA agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) and your whole crew of good men has just been taken out by the most elite of attacks, Stone is just the kind of man you want on your team - and so it is that the good guys bust Stone out of prison to christen him the new XXX. Many extremely expensive explosions, not to mention gunfights and hand-to-hand combat scenes, quickly follow. There are a number of twists and turns along the way to the truth of the unprecedented plot playing out in the Beltway, but let's just say there are no locked doors as far as Stone is concerned. He's a door-crasher from way back. Maybe the elements of the final scenario are a little unrealistic, but I didn't care, since I was watching rather than analyzing the movie at the time. Others may disagree, but I thought XXX: State of the Union was a great action movie; it had everything I want in this kind of thriller, and there's nothing more enjoyable than getting to the truth of a vast conspiracy - especially when the path is filled with as many explosions as the filmmakers can pack into 100 minutes. It's true that a lot of innocent civilians and a fair share of good guys are killed in the process, but this is just a movie -a wildly entertaining one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Pope: Church must reflect on what allowed abuse
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI told Vatican officials Monday that they must reflect on the church's culpability in its child sex-abuse scandal, but he also blamed a secular society in which he said the mistreatment of children was frighteningly common.

LoginCritic Reviews for Laws of Attraction
All Critics (149) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (119) | DVD (22)
There's no reason to see this movie.
Pitched as a homage to George Cukor's 1949 classic romantic comedy "Adam's Rib" (with Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy), "Laws of Attraction" is far separated from that film's exceptional timing and sincere comic exploration of a competitive couple of
An affable (if entirely forgettable) romantic comedy...
In the end, lazy scriptwriting leads to a lukewarm verdict.
... painfully predictable, full of super-sized implausibilities, and crowded with supporting characters that are underdeveloped and overplayed.
Standard opposites-attract romantic comedy.
What's perfect for [Moore] is that the movie uses manic farce to crack the self-possession that usually keeps her so remote from us.
The two lead players ... seem the least likely of anyone in the film to fight for themselves, unless you give them very large cocktails.
Like a Lladro statuette, this milky film is pretty and hollow, intellectually suspect but capable of providing a warm frisson of well-being
The actors work hard to concoct some chemistry, but it's tough to be Tracy and Hepburn, let alone Doris Day and Rock Hudson, when you're trying to get your mouth around lines that wouldn't pass muster on a UPN sitcom.
O �nico elemento que salva esta produ��o do desastre total � o carisma da dupla de protagonistas.
falls consistently flat, despite the best efforts by all involved
Watch Hepburn and Tracy in Adam's Rib. It's very something.
With its preposterous premise, it's hard to imagine what could have possessed this top-notch cast to get involved in this fiasco of a film.... the script is a disaster
Akin to your favorite "American Idol" contestant being prematurely knocked out is seeing two very likable actors trapped in a disappointing film.
Predictable fluff, well-acted.
Laws of Attraction has all the street cred of Glamor Magazine, and all the edge of Larry King. Which, incidentally, are two things the target audience would love.
Director Peter Howitt shows a facility for reducing an intriguing premise to lowest-common-denominator fodder for network TV.
Legally bland.
Despite a few flickers of charm, the film seldom raises itself above the level of pleasant. And pleasant ain't sophisticated, and it certainly ain't sexy.
Audience Reviews for Laws of Attraction
Lonely but charming divorce lawyers on opposite sides of the aisle opt for a longterm contract, no pre-nup, and so a writ of habeas corpus in this predictable bit o'unfortunately unfortunate blarney. The actors work so hard, and I was rooting for 'em, but ... it finally comes off as too forced, too mechanical, too formulaic, like a big song and dance production number to corn flakes.
MoreSuper Reviewer
A romantic comedy about two opposing divorce lawyers who end up in a relationship.It isnt the funniest comedy around but it does have its charm.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Love this movie Julianne Moore is a really good actress & Pierce Brosnan is a good actor & he's adorable. :) Just a really enjoyable movie. :)
MoreSuper Reviewer
This is the kind of crap I really hate. But I didn't hate this...either because of the hilarious oirish stereotypes, or maybe I've just got a thing for Julianne Moore. You decide.

You're right I forgot about shield, but I didn't say anything about armor seals, I think it'd be rather obvious armor seals would be better. And 12 shields in a minute is rather optimistic. It's on a 6 second cooldown (It's 5 if you're running 17% CD) and considering lag it's close to a 7 second cooldown. You're looking more at 8 shields per minute if you're spamming it, 9 if you have a great connection. The added armor would add 43 effective health per shield, or 31 HP/5. So that's 18 HP/5 difference. Tack on unable to buy red pots and that's ~73 seconds it takes for Vest/Armor to outweigh shields assuming all shields are broken. By that point, one would have leveled up, making effective shield health 60 instead of 43, so would be smaller than that.
Yeah, I was going to ask if this build is still viable without the hp/5 runes. I have Udyr but I'm not about to drop a ton of IP for such a specialized rune build. Could it work with armour seals and whatever for quints, or does the whole build hinge on having massive regen?
tried it out. wrecked GP at bottom, but started losing it when top ashe started coming down to help. frost shot op. they would keep it 2v1, and I don't really think Udyr is a great 2v2 or 2v1er (at least not against Ashe). couldn't defend it long enough for top to make use of the 3v4.
I've also had success with out hp/5 runes. I don't think they make or break the build but it would be nice to have.

"Extra" obtained the police report in which Kaepernick, along with two other NFL players, are named in what is being called a "suspicious incident" at the Viceroy Hotel in Miami earlier this month.
A woman is claiming she was in the hotel bedroom, naked, with Kaepernick, and that they kissed but did not have sex.
The report states that sometime later, Kaepernick left the room. The woman then claims she woke up in a hospital but doesn't know how she got there.
No charges have been filed.
The San Francisco 49ers issued a statement, "The 49ers organization is aware of the recent media report regarding Colin Kaepernick and is in the process of gathering the pertinent facts."

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,212 ViewsAn atypical Christmas short. Enjoy.
EDIT: Since people want to know, here's how I did the Jesus voice:
I recorded myself simply speaking in a monotone voice, and also recorded a guitar track.
Then I used the vocoder in my Cool Edit Pro software. It's an effect that basically combines the two sounds, so it sounds like my guitar is talking. Also, there's two parts to the voice, a higher and lower part that I tried to harmonize. So his voice actually IS music.
I don't know how to explain it any better than that, because I honestly don't understand it any better than that.
It's been too long since I saw this...
But you know what they say: <<SECOND COMING BITCH>> Great Short, you should do another one like it, again with the singing cyborg voice. Everyone seems to love it, myself included, and we're all waiting anxiously.
keep up the good work!
That was so funny as to be scary....
Btw u should make a flash called ''Second coming bitch'' :P
i am so ready for his second coming! that was absolutly fantastic with the cyborg voice! it makes me wanna kill myself will glee!!!!!

About Me Classic Dresser
Comments about Jos. A. Bank Imperial Blend 3/4 Length Topcoat:
I got this coat at a good sale price, which is the norm for Jos. Banks products. The material is nice. The fit is a tad big, but I don't think I could've gone a size down.

Nice coat
By Bean town shopper
from Indianapolis, Indiana
About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
I ordered the same size as my jackets and it fits. I previously ordered another topcoat of a larger size and it was too large and returned. I guess these days they make topcoats a little larger to accommodate the jacket underneath, so you don't need to up one size yourself when you order. The tri-blend material is very soft to the touch. I also like that the 3/4 length is nice for travel or taking it to a restaurant. Haven't had very cold days yet, but the coat seems to be warm. I got it on sale so it was a good deal. I recommend it.
Poor Tailoring
By rexybaby
from Santa Fe, NM
Coat had an unfinished sleeve hem, threads that were apparent every where. Poorly made, fit like a bag, total junk. Returned it immediately. Don't waste your time. Maybe if it was priced at under a $100.00 I wouldn't have cared so much.
everything I had anticipated and more.
By Doc
from York pa.
I've recieved tons of compliments on this coat. Solid work.
Warm and comfortable
By Jeff
from Pittsburgh, PA
The first day I had this coat the high temp. was 16. The coat kept me warm for extended periods outside. It is comfortable too, and the material feels soft. The sizing runs big. I am usually a 42 reg. but I had to get a 40 reg. It looks great and presents a professional business look.

delivery was fast and service is always great!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Orville Hickock Schell III (born May 20, 1940 in New York City) is an American writer, academic, and activist. He is well known for his works on China, and is the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York. He previously served as Dean of the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
Schell's father Orville Hickok Schell, Jr., was a prominent lawyer who headed the New York City Bar Association, chaired the human rights group Americas Watch from its founding in 1981 until his death in 1987, co-founded Helsinki Watch, forerunner to Human Rights Watch, and became the namesake of the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights at Yale Law School. Orville Schell III is the older brother of writer Jonathan Schell.[1]
Schell attended Pomfret School in Pomfret, Connecticut, after which he attended Harvard University, leaving in 1960 after his junior year to study Chinese, first at Stanford University and then at National Taiwan University from 1961 to 1964. While in Taiwan, Schell began writing columns for the Boston Globe as its "Man in Asia". He then returned to Harvard and studied Asian history, culture and politics under John Fairbank and Edwin Reischauer, and completed his bachelor's degree in 1964.
In 1964-65 Schell worked for the Ford Foundation in Djakarta, Indonesia. He then pursued Chinese studies at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a master's degree in 1967, becoming researcher for sociology and history professor Franz Schurmann (head of the school's Center for Chinese Studies) on a three-volume work The China Reader (1967, Random House). Schell was named as a co-author, establishing him as a China scholar, expert and pundit on Asia.
Schell continued his academic studies at University of California, Berkeley, completing all but his Ph.D. dissertation. As anti-Vietnam War protests shook the campus, he became involved in anti-war activism and journalism, and in 1967 he signed the Writers and Editors War Tax Protest pledge, vowing to refuse to pay tax as a protest against the Vietnam War.[2]
In 1969 Schell and Schurmann co-founded Pacific News Service (PNS) to create and distribute news and commentary from a broader spectrum of voices, especially viewpoints from abroad. The PNS was critical of the United States role in Indochina during the Vietnam War and supportive of establishing diplomatic relations with the PRC.
Before his 1974 departure for China, Schell had already published three scholarly books, The China Reader, Starting Over: A College Reader and Modern China: The Story of a Revolution.[3]
In 1975 Schell and his younger brother Jonathan Schell (who would later write the bestseller The Fate of the Earth, and join The Nation and the Nation Institute) became correspondents at The New Yorker. Schell has also served as a correspondent for the Atlantic Monthly and the New Republic. He has written widely for many other magazine and newspapers, including The New Yorker, Time magazine, Harper's, The Nation, The New York Review of Books, Wired, Foreign Affairs, Newsweek, the China Quarterly, and the New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times.
In 1980 Schell won an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship to research and write about the reliance on drugs in the U.S. meat industry.[4]
He has also been a co-producer for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) production center WGBH-TV in Boston (1984), NBC Nightly News (1987), CBS' 60 Minutes (1991), and helped produce Peter Jennings' specials at ABC Television. In 1994 he worked for the PBS documentary program Frontline.
In 1992 Schell won an Emmy Award and an Alfred I. duPont Award - Columbia University Silver Baton for producing 60 Minutes' Made in China, a documentary about the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. In 1997, Schell won a George Peabody Award for his production of Frontline's documentary Gate of Heavenly Peace.[5]
Schell's selection as Dean of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism elicited one unusual attack from right-wing radio talk show host and health guru, Michael Savage, who alleged the head of the search committee, sociology professor Troy Duster, had refused to interview him. Savage considered himself a qualified conservative journalist for the job, and claimed that Schell's appointment constituted political patronage, which is illegal under California's labor laws. The suit also argued that a political litmus test for the deanship illegally denied public employment and First Amendment rights to a conservative applicant. The lawsuit was dropped as having little merit and when all conservative applicants withdrew from consideration.
During his tenure at UC Berkeley, Schell was responsible for the hirings of Christopher Hitchens, Michael Lewis, Cynthia Gorney, Michael Pollan, Louis Rossetto, Charles Ferguson, Barbara Ehrenreich, Mark Danner, Steve Wasserman, Stephen Talbot and Tom Engelhardt, among others.
In April 2006, Schell announced his intention to resign as dean.[6]
Schell is now the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York, which focuses on multimedia journalism, original research and public events to bring attention to areas of mutual interest to the United States and China. Since its inception, the Center has focused primarily on issues of energy and global climate change. Schell is currently overseeing "The China Boom Project", "On Thinner Ice", a joint multimedia project with David Breashears' Glacier Research Imaging Project (GRIP) and MediaStorm, and a new policy effort to maximize American interest in response to investment from China.[7]
A frequent participant in the World Economic Forum, Schell is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, The Climate Policy Initiative, GE's Eco Imagination Advisory Board and the Council on the Future of Media, which claims to be "championing a new global, independent news and information service whose role is to inform, educate and improve the state of the world-one that would take advantage of all platforms of content delivery from mobile to satellite and online to create a new global network".[8]
Schell has criticized factory farming.[9] In 1976 he published The Town That Fought to Save Itself, about the San Francisco suburb of Bolinas, where he has a ranch. In 1978 he co-founded the company Niman Ranch (then named "Niman-Schell") with Bill Niman with the objective of raising cattle in a humane and environmentally sound manner. He left the company in 1999.[10] In 1984 he published the book Modern Meat: Antibiotics, Hormones, and the Pharmaceutical Farm, criticizing meat production in the United States.[11]

Schell first visited the People's Republic of China in 1974, during the last years of Mao Zedong. His sorrow at the excesses of Mao's socialist regime was evident in a winter 1988 interview with the magazine Whole Earth Review:
"China was one model in the '60s and '70s for Westerners looking for new credos and new alternative belief systems. Well, it turned out that China consumed itself. It did not necessarily disprove that certain socialist models are completely inappropriate for Third World developing countries. Rather it simply showed that the extremism of the Maoist experiment sabotaged that model...It's a great shame that Mao screwed up. His megalomania overpowered his efforts to see if China could be the first country that would find some different way to put itself together and to develop."[citation needed]
"There isn't much I'd recommend anybody imitate in China now, because China is becoming an imitation of us...Now among the young there's enormous amounts of crime and disaffection and skepticism and cynicism, along with disillusionment, and its analogue, a greed for money. People always reach for money when everything else fails."[citation needed]
In a September/October 1997 interview with Mother Jones magazine, he described Deng Xiaoping as "the counterrevolutionary par excellence in history", and China's capitalist bloc in the Communist Party as "using their positions both in the party and in the government to make money"[citation needed].
Asked if China is ready for democracy, Schell answered "No...Some of [Deng Xiaoping's successors] fought for almost 50 years for the Marxist revolution, and I think it's very naïve for Westerners to assume that that experience, that mindset, that whole ideology just simply vanished with Deng's reforms"[citation needed].
In 2004 Schell called China's Communist-Capitalist mix "Leninist capitalism".[12]
In an interview with Terri Gross of NPR's Fresh Air broadcast November 19, 2009, Schell stated that whether or not China's "autocratic capitalism" could deliver economic growth better than democracy was a question he faced "with some trepidation." He suggests the Chinese form of government may be more adaptive than democracy[13] because it is not encumbered by the special interest power blocks found in the United States, and can sometimes be able to act more decisively to deal with the complexities of the world of today, although it can also more quickly implement poor decisions. But, he emphasized that he personally preferred living in an open society.
