TishOrlandoHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairRevive Dead Or Dying HairThis product was recommended by my hairdresser after an overseas hair salon disaster where they had over bleached my hair. My hair was fallingout, breaking off and generally very unhappy. This shampoo and the treatment in the range has dramatically revived my hair. Now only time will allow it to regrow, but what i have is looking healthy and feeling strong.posted Jul 4, 2011Link to this post
LynnePortland, MEHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLife SaverMy hair was badly damaged and I was losing a lot of hair and my hairdresser recommended this shampoo and I can't tell you how much better my hair looks, feels and styles now. I have been using this product for over 3 months and couldn't be happier the results. I don't have any more hair loss or damage! It's expensive but worth every penny because it really works.posted Dec 6, 2010Link to this post
OliviaHairBlondeColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairGreat Shampoo!Love Kerastase bain de force shampoo! I've been using it for a few years now, ever since I first bought myself a bottle. It's good for my color treated, damaged hair.posted Nov 8, 2010Link to this post
LilySalt Lake CityHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairChemically Treated HairFantasticI have dark brown hair that I dye a sandy blonde with platinum highlights. My hair is also very curly, so I straighten it often. Needless to say, my hair is very damaged.
This shampoo is great because it actually puts the protein back into your hair. Instead of making it just feel smooth, it becomes stronger.
When I get back from the salon, my hair is incredibly weak, but it only takes about 5 shampoos and I can definitely see an improvement. I would recommend this shampoo to anyone who dyes their hair lighter, or anyone who has weak strands that are prone to breaking.posted Oct 1, 2010Link to this post -

PatriciaWhite Plains,ny,usaI read a lot of reviews before buying this product and most of them sounded pretty amazing, it sounded like this would be the perfect product for me. I have really fine hair and on top of that I color and use my flat iron everyday. This sounded like the product that would bring my hair to life but it actually made it a lot worse. I haven't done anything different to my hair so I'm sure it's the shampoo. My hair is so thin now and it's all broken it looks pretty bad. I'm really upset because I expent all this money on the shampoo and conditiner but it just did not work with my hair. My hair just has no life. My hair is very soft but it's lifeless I feel it when i shampoo IT. I spoke to my hair dresser and she says I didn't need that shampoo in the first place. I taught I had demaged hair before but now its 2x as bad. She recomended I get the BumBle and Bumble Gentle Shampoo that's what she used at the salon and it smelled really good but that's all i know about it. My point is that this definitely did not work for my hairposted Jan 5, 2010Link to this post
Sam StanburyBristolStrengthens Hair...definitely!!I bought this product about 2 years ago and still have nearly half of the shampoo left! And what can I say? Well, it works miracles! I have definitely noticed the difference regarding the condition of my hair. It makes it feel wonderfully smooth and strengthened inside out. However there is just one little tiny con. If you dont use the ciment anti-usure conditioner with this shampoo your hair goes a bit digusting. I used it once without the conditioner and I had dry, split ended hair that I didnt want to touch. On the whole a great product just make sure you get the conditioner wiht it!posted May 15, 2008Link to this post

Sink Technologies and Benefits:
- The Vessel Advantage: Beyond uniqueness and their distinctive modern design, vessel sinks also present a couple of functional advantages. Because the sink is raised off the countertop, overall bathroom clutter presents less of an issue as items are merely level with or below the sink rim, not towering over it and in the way of your arms. Furthermore, bowl-shaped vessel sinks actually free up countertop space directly under the sink rim. Lastly, vessel sinks are much better at containing splashes, making face and hand washing less messy.
- Handcrafted Quality: Kraus vessel sinks are handcrafted in a very labor-intensive process. Starting with only the finest materials, artisans work each sink through its various production stages, with complete control over the entire process. By using hands to get the work done, each Kraus vessel sink is a functional work of art that has seen great care and thought put into its creation. The end result is a flawless sink that shows its attention to details.
Faucet Technologies and Benefits
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.

This year, we'll begin with Game Show Buttons, a moderately involved circuit that's easy to build and understand – no soldering required, so all that's needed is to drop components in place on a 6″ modular IC breadboard. More on this circuit and a video after the jump!
Challenge your friends to rounds of geeky jeopardy with Game Show Buttons, a two-person quiz circuit built using the legendary 555 timer and a Quad 2-input OR gate IC (we recommend the 74HC32). Along with momentary push buttons and corresponding LEDs (and some resistors and capacitors thrown in for good measure), the first player who thinks they know the answer and pushes his or her button will turn the circuit on, locking out the other player.
This circuit is built using an OR logic gate, which as the name implies is true (on) if either input A or input B is true. The OR is one of seven common types of logic gates, the others being AND, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR, and NOT (or as most call it, an Inverter). Watch the video below to see the circuit being built and operated. If you build this project or a variation of it, be sure to send us an email with pictures of your build!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
1756 - 1791
Dramma giocoso in two acts
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte
First performed January 26th 1790, Burgtheater, Vienna
Sung in italian with german surtitles
Duration: c. 3 3/4 hrs. with one interval
About the piece
That Mozart's operas – and Così fan tutte in particular – are still able to convey something disquietening, and yet not seem completely monstrous, more than 200 years after they were first performed is probably the secret of their immortality. The erotomaniac Don Giovanni, for example, will always be a sinister, undisputably disruptive character. The question thrown into the air in Così fan tutte - whether or not it is possible for a woman to remain faithful - has lost very little of its explosive nature. Lorenzo Da Ponte's libretto is perfectly constructed but still it seems, somehow, that everything is teetering on the edge of a precipice. The fascination of the story is not in the outcome of Don Alfonso's bet, but the steps, shaped with compassionate clarity by Mozart, that lead up to it. Christof Loy's production gives this perfect story and the minutest psychological reactions between the characters equal weight, bringing to light some key moments that have been misinterpreted, up until now, in the work's performance history: another chance to see this extraordinary production.
Ferrando and Guglielmo are convinced that their intended brides Dorabella and Fiordiligi are incapable of being unfaithful. Don Alfonso, who things otherwise, persuades them to enter a bet that he can prove the opposite is true within the space of 24 hours: the two young men shall take their leave from their lovers and go off to war, returning, in disguise, as two strangers to try and seduce them, helped by Despina, the young ladies' maid. What they thought impossible happens: after they at first indignantly react to all attempts at getting closer to them, Dorabella and Fiordiligi begin to flirt, forget their promises of faithfulness – and fall in love with one another's fiancés. Ferrando and Guglielmo's emotions are confused. When Alfonso marries off the two new couples and the masquerade is suddenly over, their confusion is complete, the future of the protagonists uncertain.

Jonathan Coleman, who specializes in treating prostate and kidney cancers, talks about how minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce recovery time and pain, as well as improve quality of life for patients.
I am a urologic surgeon with expertise in minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of kidney, adrenal, and prostate cancers. Using laparoscopic, robotic, and image-guided therapies, the goal of our team is to provide appropriate curative therapeutic interventions through the organ-sparing approaches of less-invasive surgery. We are interested in the application and careful study of techniques such as robotic (da Vinci) prostatectomy, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, partial adrenalectomy, cryo- and radiofrequency ablation, and MRI-guided prostate interventions using state-of-the-art instrumentation and imaging technology. We are also coupling these approaches with basic science research investigations of human cancers to discover optimal therapeutic strategies that can be tailored to each of our patients.
I have a special interest in patients with hereditary urologic cancer syndromes, including von Hipple-Lindau, Birt-Hogg-Dube, hereditary papillary kidney cancer, and hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer.

MEGADETH – Rust In Peace Live a review
by admin on Sep.23, 2010, under news
Shout Factory
8.5 out of 10
For many years Rust In Peace was the worst album Megadeth ever put out to me. Sure it had Holy Wars…The Punishment Due and Hanger 18 but that was about it. There always seemed to be something missing on that album for me. Granted Holy Wars…The Punishment Due was almost good enough to save the entire record it was THAT GOOD.
Then a string of crappy albums came out from Cryptic Writings on, and I realized that Rust In Peace wasn't that bad. There are three or four songs on every Megadeth album that stand out. Never enough to make an entire album listenable, but enough to keep the band and my version of their 'greatest hits' in constant rotation of my iPod. Give me Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good, Peace Sells…But Who's Buying, and So Far, So Good…So What. Those albums front to back are pretty much flawless. And I'm not talking about the remastered versions where Dave went in there and fucked up the songs adding parts, changing lyrics, and generally fucking up his legacy. Did he not see Star Wars episodes 1-3? Does he not know how George Lucas fucked up our childhood memories? Now Dave has fucked with my Adolescence. You can't rewrite history. You can try, but all you do is fuck it up generally.
20 years after RiP was released Dave Mustaine & Co decided it was time to celebrate this so-so album and perform it in its entirety. Thankfully Dave (Jr) Ellefson rejoined the band shortly before this tour so we get the best player Megadeth has had performing the music he helped create 20 years ago. Chris Broderick is a decent guitarist and stands up well beside Mustaine. Trading rhythm and lead with Dave quite deftly. And Shawn Drover keeps the time and flourishes behind the drum kit throughout the show. Adding his own fills in to long established songs could go horribly wrong to those purists out there, but Shawn puts his own touch on and certainly adds to material. To me most notably on Five Magics, which is such a time convoluted song, that left in the hands of a lesser drummer could sound like a complete mess and just end up with the band standing on stage with their proverbial dicks in their hands.
The two biggest distractions on the DVD for me were Dave's voice and the crowd noise.
There is a fine balance to be found (however difficult it may be to find it) between feeling as if you are AT the show while sitting on your couch watching it, and having some shrieking asshole screaming in your ear for 90 minutes. This may be the first DVD that I've ever actually been able to hear people screaming at the band and be able to decipher what they say. In post production the producer and engineer always juice the crowd up in between songs, after solos, etc. But at time this almost sounds like a bootleg with some dude standing in the crowd with a mic and people screaming around him. Turn the crowd down already! I don't want to hear them. And I don't care if they are shitting their brains out because you're playing Lucretia for the first time in 20 years.
Dave's voice in his higher octave (if you can call it an octave) is shot. He sounds like he's on helium when he sings parts of Holy Wars and Tornado of Souls. I noticed it when I saw the cinecast of THE BIG FOUR at Sonisphere, and it has caused me much pause in purchasing the landmark event on DVD because of Dave's voice at that show. I was really hoping that this DVD recorded a couple months before that show would show a stronger voiced Mustaine. And in many parts it did, But Dawn Patrol, parts of Holy Wars, and Polaris it is rough when he reaches for those high notes.
Last complaint is the kick drums. Very flat and crisp. A certain lack of bottom end from the mix for sure. Definitely takes away from the 'live feel' of the DVD. The kick drum hits you in the forehead instead of right in the chest like it should.
Visually it is stunning. And the encore or bonus songs at the end, In My Darkest Hour (with more helium voiced Dave), Trust, Peace Sells, etc, round out a great set of music. Yes I said I wasn't much of a fan of the album, but really, take out Five Magics, Poison Was The Cure, and Lucretia and you really have a good set, add in the other songs, and you have a great concert. The crowd (annoying screamers aside) appears to really be into the show and the moshing and crowd surfing are plentiful throughout the show.
I know I am in the minority with my opinions of Rust In Peace the album, and I did give the DVD high marks because Megadeth live is aurally and visually is a good time and whiplash is guaranteed. That being said, you will want to go out and get RUST IN PEACE LIVE. You will enjoy it, and you will thank me later.

What Is The Atkins Diet?
Atkins is the original leading low-carb weight loss plan that provides quick, effective, satisfying and balanced weight loss based on an extensive body of scientific research. The Atkins Diet is designed to "flip the body's metabolic switch" from burning carbs to burning fat. Graduated carb introduction limits blood sugar and insulin spikes, which cause hunger and cravings, and result in overeating and weight gain.
Atkins has the additional application of being the weight loss plan of choice for the millions of people who have a reduced ability to process carbohydrates – those who have varying levels of "carbohydrate intolerance."
The Atkins plan consists of four phases, with gradual increased carb intake for each phase. The plan allows an individual to find his or her perfect carbohydrate balance that is ideal for their personal weight loss or maintenance. Atkins dieters are motivated to change and maintain their eating patterns with delicious and healthy food options.
How can individuals following Atkins ensure they are getting a fully balanced, nutritional diet?
The Atkins Diet encourages the consumption of a healthy balance of nutrient dense food, adequate protein, a full array of high-fiber vegetables, low glycemic fruits and good fats, like avocado and olive oil. It teaches every individual to discover their own perfect carbohydrate balance. The Atkins Diet includes a wide variety of foods throughout the entire plan. Even during the Induction phase the concentration is on adequate intake of protein and fat, and a wide variety of vegetables to supercharge the body's fat burning power and jumpstart weight loss. During the first two weeks, dieters can eat more vegetables on a daily basis than is recommended by the USDA. Progressing through the diet, seeds, nuts, low glycemic fruits and eventually whole grains are added in, with the amount dependent on each individual's personal carbohydrate tolerance.
In addition to weight loss, what are some of the health benefits associated with Atkins?
Independent third-party clinical research has found that Atkins reduces risk factors for heart-disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.
Additionally, the average American consumes 156 pounds of added sugar each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Imagine it: 31 five-pound bags per person per year. By eating carbohydrates in moderation, the Atkins Diet helps individuals (even those without diabetes) maintain stable blood sugar levels, leading to fewer carb cravings and more energy, among other health benefits. Scientific research has consistently found that subjects at a high risk for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) that were following the low-carb approach had improvements in their cholesterol profiles, decreasing their risk of developing CAD.
There are also many digestive benefits that come with following Atkins. Fiber requirements can be easily met because the Atkins Diet replaces highly refined, low-fiber carbohydrates with salad greens, fresh vegetables, low sugar fruit, nuts, seeds and whole grains. The diet includes lots of vegetables to replace processed foods, which increases fiber intake. A high-fiber diet is the best way to lower risk factors associated with the colon. Additionally, numerous scientific studies have confirmed that those eating a high-fiber diet have lower cholesterol levels and fewer incidences of heart disease than those on a low-fiber diet.
Can vegetarians follow the Atkins Diet? Vegans?
The Atkins Diet allows individuals to consume a wide variety of foods, all framed within a context of eating fewer carbohydrates and sugars. The diet can be followed as a vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarians can start in Ongoing Weight Loss at 30 grams of Net Carbs and introduce seeds and nuts before berries. Vegetarians will can get their protein from eggs, cheese and soy products. Vegans can get sufficient protein from seeds, nuts, soy products, soy and rice cheeses, seitan, legumes and high protein grains like quinoa. Vegans can start in Ongoing Weight Loss at 50 grams of Net Carbs so they can have nuts, seeds and legumes from the start.
It is common knowledge that Atkins limits carb intake, but does the diet allow for individuals to eat any carbs?
The Atkins Diet is a low-carb, not a no carb plan. People frequently mistake the first phase, Induction, for the entire Atkins plan. During Induction, the plan allows dieters to eat 20 grams of net carbohydrates (total grams of carbs minus fiber and the only carbohydrates that impact one's blood sugar level) daily, with 12 – 15g net carbohydrates coming from a full array of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables. After the Induction phase is complete, the carbohydrate count is gradually increased until each individual reaches his or her perfect carb balance and goal weight. Additionally, dieters can start during any phase of the Atkins plan depending on their individual weight loss goals. Atkins dieters can even enjoy whole grains and pasta in later phases.
Isn't Atkins criticized for having too much fat?
Atkins does focus on fat, but a balance of fats that are commonly agreed to be healthy, such as monounsaturated fats like olive oil and avocado. If they wish, individuals can easily avoid almost all saturated fats while on Atkins by following the plan as a vegetarian. Research from more than 80 peer-reviewed independent studies has consistently demonstrated the diet's safety and efficacy.
Thoughtful Approach. Powerful Science
Science has been at the core of every decision Atkins has ever made. It all started in 1963, when Dr. Robert C. Atkins began to formalize the controlled carbohydrate approach after studying a series of articles published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that supported this theory.
Troubled by the increasing obesity problem among his patients and among the U.S. population, Dr. Atkins found how eating the right foods while limiting refined carbohydrates in one's diet changed a person's body from a carb-burning to a fat-burning machine. This, in turn, led to successful weight loss and improvements in many weight-related health issues. It was from this revolutionary thinking that the Atkins Nutritional Approach was born.
At Atkins, they continue to educate consumers about the growing body of research on weight loss and weight management. In fact, today, there are over 50 studies that highlight the positive weight loss results and other health benefits associated with following the Atkins Diet. These benefits include weight loss, improvement in risk factors for heart disease, hypertension and diabetes, inflammation, benefits in treating epilepsy and decreasing obesity in children and adolescents.
Another way Atkins has carried on in the tradition of education is through the creation of their Science Advisory Board - a multi-disciplinary collection of nationally known experts in the fields of nutrition, metabolism, physiology and food science from leading universities and institutions in the United States. These men and women are responsible for the oversight of their program as well as the development and formulation of all their products. Atkins' members also conduct and publish additional research on the diet and its principals.
Atkins Science Advisory Board
Atkins Nutritionals has always said it – science is the basis for their nutritional approach and in order to continue to educate people about the growing body of emerging research highlighting the health benefits associated with the principles of the Atkins Nutritional Approach as well as the development of new products, Atkins created a multi-disciplinary Science Advisory Board that includes nationally known experts in the fields of nutrition, metabolism, physiology and food science.
The group advises Atkins on the latest scientific findings and medical studies that investigate the safety, efficacy and nutritional value of the Atkins Nutritional Approach and its products. Each member of the board provides ongoing expert counsel to Atkins as they continue to help people achieve their weight loss and weight management goals.
As part of their work, the board will monitor the growing body of research, now totaling more than 50 studies that highlight the positive weight loss results and other health benefits associated with following the Atkins Diet. These benefits include weight loss, improvement in risk factors for heart disease, hypertension and diabetes, inflammation, benefits in treating epilepsy and decreasing obesity in children and adolescents.
And of course, science extends to their products, whose great taste and nutrition are the result of thorough scientific formulation using the some of the best ingredients on Earth.

This is a supplement to Y U Ranch: Strategy and Sustainability in Cattle Ranching (A) and (B), products 9B09M080 and 9B09M081 and, taken together, this case series illustrates why industrial farming has supplanted the farm-based agricultural system.
learning objective:
This case series has three main teaching objectives: 1) Strategic Decision-Making: To demonstrate that strategic changes often result from the accumulation of seemingly small decisions. 2) Sustainable Business Models: To explore sustainable business models that offer a counterpoint to the industry's dominant business model. 3) Resilience: To provide students with an understanding of the foundations of sustainability, which is based on systems theory and the ability of organizations to rebound from adversity. This case series fits well in a number of business school courses: 1) Within a sustainability or business and society course, instructors can use this case series to increase students' understanding of the fundamentals of a sustainable business model. To our knowledge, few cases go beyond the triple bottom line approach to sustainability to paint a fuller picture of a sustainable business model. 2) Within a strategy course, instructors can use this case series to help students to better understand the impact of seemingly small decisions and the importance of organizational resilience. 3) Within an entrepreneurship course, instructors can use this case series to illustrate how students can evaluate different growth paths of small firms.
subjects covered:
Decision making; Small & medium-sized enterprises; Social responsibility; Strategy; Sustainability
- Geographic: Canada
- Industry: Agriculture, forestry, fishing & hunting
- Event Year Begin: 2009

I think thats not so good when the old drivers are split, it was easy to detect ati for a while -> just vendor ati -> ati driver, now you have to update autodetection, nothing I really like...
Phoronix: A Flurry Of OSS ATI Driver Improvements
Since AMD openly released the R300-R500 3D programming documents this past Friday, it has led to a flurry of improvements with the xf86-video-ati "Radeon" driver. On the same day as the document release, Textured Video for the R100-400 series was committed to master followed by Textured Video for the R500 series the next morning (and Rotate support as well)...
I think thats not so good when the old drivers are split, it was easy to detect ati for a while -> just vendor ati -> ati driver, now you have to update autodetection, nothing I really like...
I'm not familiar with git.
Can someone provide the git command to get the latest ati driver? I'd be interested in giving it a try.
I've a question in mind since those specifications have been released by ATI : would it possible to write specifically optimized drivers for a particular app ?
For example, I believe that what differs an ATI-FIREGL from an ATI "gamer" GFX Card are mainly the drivers, which are "optimized" for 3DStudio or Maya.
I know that the dev team has probably hard times to write the first open-source driver, but would it be possible to finally have drivers specifically tweaked for UT3 or for Quake Wars or Blender ?
I don't know much things in programming, but just wondering if that could be possible after the open-source drivers have been stabilized ?
We could also imagine the possibility to use the generic open-source driver when running Gnome/KDE and using this specificaly tuned driver on a new X terminal when starting the application for which the driver has been tuned, so that on everyday use we still can use the normal driver and switch to the optimize one only on the specific app.
Please, don't take this as an offense in a way that writing the first open-source ATI driver is already an huge job, that just to know if someone else has already had the idea and to know if this idea is completely crazy or just little crazy !

Sep 1, 2014Caught up by one-too-many obstacles and loses sight of quality filmmaking. The premise is also vague--taking numerous turns, creating an unbelievable and indistinct piece of film.
May 4, 2014This is a very different movie from Mr.Stone, it differs a lot from his usual patriotic films like Born On The Fourth Of July. It's a darker film and it gives solid performances from a well casted film. But the ending wasn't really my taste
Jan 20, 2014
Dec 31, 2013I kept waiting for it to get better. It doesn't... it gets worse. The final ending really sinks it. Could they make the female character more whiny? She is someone you can't identify with and yet they continue to have her narrate. This is an art film with mainstream violence thrown in to make it sell.
Dec 17, 2013This movie was lame. I'm disappointed in Oliver stone. The story is lame and very unbelievable. The acting was very stale. Will not recommend or watch again.
Nov 10, 2013Savages is, thankfully, a one off experience. I have never experienced such a poor film in my years as a movie goer. None of the characters are likable, the script is a mess and hugely disappointing and Oliver Stone seems to still think random transitions and filters are impressive. It is not the worst movie ever made, but it could potentially be the least enjoyable.

Mar 15, 2013A fun stylish action film, Savages is a lot of fun. It's good to see Oliver Stone making a strong action movie again. The only thing that made this film an 8 was a weak ending.
Feb 12, 2013
Jan 31, 2013
Jan 24, 2013It is the typical movie you do not know if you liked it or not.
Jan 19, 2013
Jan 1, 2013when I saw the trailer for this film was one of the ones I get excited to see in 2012, and I saw the 2/3 of the movie seemed good but not magnificent or memorable, compared to masterpieces like Traffic. But the end ..... blessed end! I dare say that between the 3 worse end was I seen in my **** life, that way to **** a movie.
Dec 16, 2012
Dec 13, 2012They remove Blake Lively's greatest asset by having her narrate. The villains make the movie while the ending nearly ruins it. A mixed bag if there ever was one, but it's entertaining.
Dec 10, 2012I don't know what to say. It was a captivating movie, with the most brutal scene I've ever seen on a commercial film. It kept my attention and focus from frame one till the end -- which folks should be debating, and about which I would love to hear from Stone. IF you can take a very dark movie, this is one of the best of that genre.
Dec 9, 2012
Nov 29, 2012This was a good movie but it was nowhere near the type of movie the previews led on. The trailers made it seem like almost a Taken style of movie but with a love triangle and drugs. Instead, it was a much slower style film. The acting was great and the politics and plot development was solid but I just was expecting a different vibe.
Nov 25, 2012This is just what the doctor ordered. A movie with an easy to understans story that has the momentum of a 1,000,000 ton train moving at 1,000,000 mph. It's a combination of modern filmaking and 70's pretentiousness. And that's great. This destroyed my theater made blues. Awesome.
Nov 25, 2012Surprisingly good effort from director Oliver Stone, in a territory that his fellow peers Martin Scorcesse is famous for: the crime drama. The younger casts are quite good, while both Hayek and Del Toro again showed us their acting chops. Typical of this genre, there's the usual ultra violence and gore. Too bad the ending felt tacked on. Otherwise, a pretty good crime flick.
Nov 17, 2012
Nov 5, 2012Savages, a film by Oliver Stone, tends to be so over the top, you begin to wonder how the actors all keep a straight face. This is a film that's cheese ball, but doesn't know it's cheese ball. Those are the worst kinds of movies.
Oct 24, 2012
Aug 14, 2012While Savages could have been a little more than what it was, it's still a fine piece of film-making. Some may find the violence distasteful, but the performances are what keeps the film going along.

Jul 21, 2012This was one of the best movies I've seen. Salma Hayek was absolutely beautiful and she played her role very well. Everyone in this movie was wonderful.
Jul 20, 2012This movie has a good premise and starts off very good. It maintains its intensity throughout the movie until the last 1/2 hour, then it falls apart. I would have rated it higher if they had some reasonable ending. Overall the acting is good. Plenty of action and great scenery.
Jul 19, 2012This is not a great movie at all. Benicio del Toro is the only great acting in the movie. The story is weak and the acting bad. Not even worth watching unless you are very sadistic :P Very disappointing, specially for an Oliver Stone movie.

Jul 16, 2012
Jul 13, 2012Steer clear of this movie - it is terrible. I love action/suspense thrillers and went to see Savages after seeing an overall positive score for it on Metacritic. I have no idea how Savages got a score of 62 - I would give it a 2 at best. Save your time, brain and money and see something else.
Jul 12, 2012
Jul 11, 2012
Jul 11, 2012There was too much violence for me - some of it gratuitous violence. But I guess with news stories of the drug-related killing in Mexico, it must be realistic. Sad to see that this is reality. Good acting by the principals.

Jul 8, 2012"Savages" was a very entertaining piece of work that i enjoyed from the moment it started all the way to the trip out ending! i had read the book right before i went to see the movie, which gave me a better appreciation for the story and characters. I suggest you go out and see this bloody, thrill ride because its one of the better and story-driven movies to come out this year.
Jul 8, 2012The movie was a fine effort by the director and the actors but the subject matter was sick, really dark....the most likable character was a corrupt DEA agent. Maybe a little too close to reality is the problem. Another scary commentary on society.
Jul 8, 2012
Jul 7, 2012
Jul 6, 2012Savages is a brutal, bloody mess and thats what makes it so entertaining. Benicio Del Toro is incredible as Lado, and delivers the best scenes of the whole movie. The ending was a bit strange and I wasn't the biggest fan of the "real" ending, but that was my only real problem. The plot is good, the acting mostly great and the Mexican Cartel torture scenes are pretty f'ed up.

Jul 6, 2012
Jul 6, 2012If you liked The Town last year, you'll like this. It's the same perfect blend of tone: Action, melodrama, and humor. These are the kind of movies that hollywood action should be. It felt like a whole season of Breaking Bad, but with a great director and huge budget. SEE THIS.... I will buy it on DVD.
Jul 6, 2012
Jul 6, 2012
Sadly, Savages plays up to Stone's worst tendencies: machismo, bombast and self-indulgence, and the factor that could conceivably have made this movie tolerable – humour – is off the menu.
What could have been an effective excoriation of US drug policy and a proper look at the violence inherent in the trade is wasted on a simplistic thriller that offers very little, especially given who is behind the camera. Sorry if that harshes anyone's buzz.
Sep 1, 2012Savages is punishing in places, but there are enough colourful characters and careening twists to make it worth the effort.

Unstoppable Reds eye sweep behind ace Cueto
Garza eyes another strong outing to halt Cubs' six-game skid
Matt Garza and Johnny Cueto have each notched one start since coming off the disabled list, and now, they're both looking to find their groove on the mound.
The Cubs' Garza and the Reds' Cueto will square off Sunday in the finale of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park, and no doubt both of their teams would like to see the type of performance they've come to expect from the top-of-the-rotation right-handers.
Although Garza was held to 82 pitches his first time out, the leash is off for his second start of 2013. Garza had been out of action since early in Spring Training, when he sustained a lat muscle injury and missed all of Cactus League play, after sitting out the second half of the 2012 season with elbow issues.
Following a Minor League rehabilitation stint, Garza made his return with five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while walking three and striking out five in a no-decision against the Pirates on Tuesday.
"I had a little nerves that I had to fight off early," Garza said after his 2013 debut. "I was disappointed I didn't go deeper. I don't like coming out in the fifth. That's not what I train for, that's not what I strive to do. It is what it is -- I felt great being back out there, but it [stinks] the way it ended."
Cueto, meanwhile, pitched in three games before going on the disabled list, also with a strained lat muscle. He gave up three runs on three hits and four walks in five innings against the Mets in his return after a month on the DL.
After surrendering a three-run homer, Cueto settled in and reminded the Reds what he is capable of, striking out eight on the day and earning the win.
"He's kind of our anchor," said Reds outfielder Jay Bruce. "You hand him the ball and have him win a game."
Cubs: Rizzo back on the beam
Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo ended an 0-for-23 skid with an RBI double in the third Saturday, and he added a single and a double for a 3-for-3 day, after going five games without reaching base.
"I'm going to struggle like [Friday], have great weeks, great stretches and weeks like this," Rizzo said. "It's what comes with this game, and this is what we signed up for. I want to help the team win as much as I can. Everyone here has everyone's back and everyone works hard."
The Cubs continued to struggle with runners in scoring position. In their last six games, they are 9-for-45 with RISP, including 1-for-5 on Saturday.
Reds: Stay hot, Cincinnati
The Reds now have won 16 of their last 20 and five straight, and the heart of their order has been a big reason why. Brandon Phillips extended his hitting streak to 12 games Saturday with a single and a pair of runs, although Joey Votto saw his end at 12. Votto did, however, start the Reds' four-run rally in the sixth inning with a walk.
Another key to the Reds' early success has been their defense, which had committed just 20 errors through Saturday's spotless game, ranking third in the National League.
"Like I've always said, you don't win games on defense, but you can lose them," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "This game is not one to give away extra outs."
Worth noting
• The Reds continued their mastery of the Cubs with Saturday's victory, running their advantage in the season series thus far to 7-1. The two teams play 19 games this season, and they'll have played 13 of them after four games slated for June 10-13 at Wrigley Field.
• Following Sunday's series finale, the Cubs and Reds will head into their Interleague rivalries for back-to-back series. The Cubs will start with two at U.S. Cellular Field against the White Sox before two at Wrigley Field, and the Reds will host the Indians before heading to Progressive Field on Wednesday and Thursday.

Trophies For Everyone
Boston.com has an article about a basketball league where everyone gets a trophy, whether they win or lose:
When a youth basketball league in Framingham finishes its season next month, every fifth- and sixth-grader will receive a shiny trophy. Even those on the last-place team.
''We want them to be happy and come back to play the following year," said the Temple Beth Am Brotherhood league's director, Rich Steckloff.
In communities across Boston's western suburbs, at the end of long seasons on the soccer pitch, hoop court, or baseball diamond, kids are getting trophies not for winning championships, but for simply participating.
Some say there's no harm in awarding trophies to all, that it's a reward for playing a sport that keeps them fit. And it's hard to argue with the warm feeling a parent gets when their wide-eyed child receives a prize.
But others have raised questions about whether getting trophies so easily is the best thing for youngsters.
''There is something inherently good about trying to raise kids' feelings about themselves, but there has to be balance," said Leonard Zaichkowsky, a Boston University professor and director of its sport and exercise psychology training program, shared by BU's schools of education and medicine. ''We also have to teach kids to be mentally tough, to take criticism, to experience failure, to learn that somebody wins and somebody loses.
''We have to take teachable moments to reach kids and explain that there are going to be setbacks and losses, and to be able to cope with that," he said.
I played little league baseball for five season — tee ball for one, and "pinto league" for four. It was a lot of fun, even though I didn't always think so at the time. I was #12 on the Yankees, and I played Right Field or Catcher.
Every year, every player received a trophy. Of course, the people who had the best records got the biggest trophies, but I still have a box in my garage with my baseball trophies in it. And the one I won (legitimately) for the one year I was on my high school's wrestling team. I also still have the certificates of appreciation and such that I got from ages four to about sixteen.
I understand where the writer is coming from — that everyone getting a trophy doesn't condition kids properly to the disappointment of losing. But believe me, we knew. We knew when we got beat by a better team. And we rejoiced in the fact that we weren't the Phillies (the worst team in the league; we beat them 26-1 in one year).
When kids are young, giving them a trophy for participating isn't such a bad thing. But once they hit a certain age — say, ten — they need to start learning that participation isn't a rewardable activity. Otherwise we end up with teenagers who volunteer for everything for the sole purpose of padding their college applications.
I got accepted to three colleges — one of them Northwestern — and I only had the bare minimum of activities (read: two in-school and one out-of-school) on my CV. Just something to keep in mind before you exhort your kids to run themselves ragged with participation. Perhaps that's why so many of them cut loose so extravagantly in their first year of college.
