I have no idea why this strange shift to high buttons is so prevalent. It makes the shoulders look smaller and the love handles larger. It doesn't make anyone look better.

I love how Footwear etc. carries so many great brands to choose from, they are always very helpful.
I went yesterday to Footwear etc. in Ranco Bernardo CA to look for another pair of Orthaheel sandals; needed something a little more dressy. Thanks to the help of Ashley I tried on the Carla II bronze metallic sandal (not my first choice) but she said try them you will like them.

What are two significant historical allusions in "The Good Earth"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Published in 1931, Pearl S Buck's ''The Good Earth'' is about China before the Second World War, and its problems and lives and people. As it is basically an historical novel, it is full of historical allusions, but probably the two most important relate to:
1. The decline/weakness of the Manchu and the old Chinese nobility; and
2. The increasing growth of Chinese hostility towards Japan, prior to World War 2.
Many further allusions of a minor nature can also be found on a close reading of the novel's text.

Nerf war, anyone? Don't know what that is? Wikipedia it. :P
Okay, I'll admit it. Not only was I shocked about having a potato sack being thrown over my head, I was shocked about the fact that a gun was being brought into the equation. This used to be about some stupid flash drive. Now it was getting serious. The actual problem was . . . HOW serious? How the hell was I supposed to know what had happened to Ivey? If the same people that currently have me have her . . . she could be dead by now.
The next question was simple; how the fuck did these dickheads get their hands on a gun?
"Alright, Miss Vuldana." The potato sack was taken off of my head (thankfully, as the smell was getting worse). "You're going to tell us everything about that USB stick, and you're going to do it now."
Edward Hudson . . . . who . . . . was a nerd. Or, at least, the guy was a part of the nerd clique in Sacred. It was odd – he was the only good looking nerd I've seen so far, and that's saying something. He had scruffy black hair, jade eyes and a good looking face. He also wore the usually unattractive green wool vest, a colour that normally belonged to the nerds – he, however, was wearing it rather nicely. In fact, it worked for him.
"Okay, first of all, you know this is childish, right?" I laughed once.
I was met with a gun. A real gun, which was surprising. I raised my eyebrows. I wasn't tied up, and while Ed here looked nice, I was sure I could take him in a fight. And plus, he was a nerd. Nerd can't fight.
"Okay, okay." I laughed. "This is how it's going to work – I tell you everything I know about the USB and you release Ivey-Lee Jones."
Edward laughed in return, pulling up a chair. "No, that's not how this is going to work. See, I'm going to put this gun to your head, and you're going to tell me everything you know as fast as you can."
Damn, this guy was making it hard. There was no way I'd be able to charm my way out of this, not with the other nerds lurking in the shadows, probably with their own machines of destruction.
"Look," I leaned forward, causing my forehead to touch with the barrel of the gun. "All I know is that Ivey was after this thing called a handbag that belonged to Elsie Prune, which turned out to be a flash drive. I don't know what's on it, but I know that she now has it."
"Because you found it and gave it to her?"
I nodded. "In exchange for my leaving the school. Permanently." I leaned back in the chair and crossed my arms. Edward didn't get it just yet, his eyes narrowing as he thought. "You know, I want to know how you got that gun."
"What, this thing?" He chuckled. "Dad uses it all the time."
"He a cop, is he?"
Actually, nobody knew what occupation Edward's father held. Not even Ivey, and she never actually tried to find out. She always changed the subject . . . which was odd.
"But you know, I'm very tempted to use this." He grinned a little. "It'd be . . . an experience."
"Killing another student is going to be an experience?" I rolled my eyes. This guy didn't know who he was dealing with.
To be honest, I was very concerned for my wellbeing. I wasn't going to show that to this douche-bag, though, because otherwise he'd call my bluff. But what happened next made me count my lucky stars.
Edward pulled the trigger, and I wasn't met with a bullet. Nope. I want you to guess what I was met with.
I lunged forward, grabbing the gun and Eddie in two strides. When I was expecting actually bullets to be fired at me, I was met with . . .
A nerf bullet?
"Drop him!"
"Let him go!"
I really needed to get back into the swing of things, but all the nerds started to run for it. Dropping Eddie and his "gun", I ran after one of the nerds I knew I could catch – Aron Kells. I grabbed him by the collar, taking his nerf gun and putting it to his temple.
"If you aren't all cowards, and value the strength of your clique, you'll all come back!"
This was a wicked turn of events, and I was actually proud of myself for thinking all of this up within seconds. Aron squirmed a little, and Eddie moved right out of the way when I dragged the brunette male back into the shed I was dragged to. He winced as I pulled off his tie, and used it to tie his hands behind his back.
I was lucky enough to be greeted by the whole of the nerd clique, except Elsie Prune. I frowned a little at her lack of appearance – either all of the guys didn't let the girls in on their little "adventure" or she and the rest of the girls didn't want any part in it.
"Alright." I stood up straight, and addressed the clique. "I want answers, and I want them now, or Kells becomes my nerf-dartboard. I have had a long, interesting, and quite frankly, ridiculous night. If you guys think you can beat me with a lighter that looks like a gun, and nerf bullets to try and hurt me, you're all wrong and you need a couple of females to help you come up with an actually decent plan . . . although, I'll give you points for creativity."
Most of the nerds were either looking away from me or at their feet, and the only one that actually looked at me was Ed, who seemed to actually be listening to me.
"Now, I want to know how you guys know about the handbag, and I want to know now. And don't just tell me that Prune told you about it."
Ed stood up. "Harry Gold told us."
"Harry Gold, huh?"
I walked around the circle. Of course Harry had told them – he couldn't tell his own clique because they would have found a way to get it themselves. They would have become selfish – stolen the info and hid it from Gold. At the moment, that guy wasn't my main concern.
"Okay, so where is Ivey-Lee?"
Eddie frowned, and the rest of the clique looked rather confused. "We don't know . . ."
"That's ridiculous." I scoffed. "You took her just like you took me – hell, you forced her door open."
"Vuldana, her door was already like that when we got there."
I couldn't believe it. While I know that it was highly impossible that nerds would have been able to out-smart Ivey, I didn't think that anybody else could . . . There was no other clique that had the intelligence to do it.
"Alright." I nodded slowly. The nerds apparently didn't have Ivey – and even if they did, they wouldn't have lied to me in this situation – Aron was under the spotlight and had a nerf gun trained to his head. "From now on, your whole clique works for me."
I strengthened my arm with the nerf gun in it, forcing the guy that spoke to stay silent, fearing for Aron's safety.
"Like I said. You guys all work for me now."
Now that I look back on the situation, I didn't ever think that I'd get involved with the clique war. Hell, I didn't think I'd ever get involved in Ivey's life. But at that point in time, I couldn't think of anything but to dominate. Back then, I thought being the king would get me everything. I can't tel you how very wrong I was.

Critical Perspectives
Edited by Eoin Devereux, Aileen Dillane, Martin Power
Routledge – 2015 – 324 pages
Routledge – 2015 – 324 pages
David Bowie: Critical Perspectives examines in detail the many layers of one of the most intriguing and influential icons in popular culture. This interdisciplinary book brings together established and emerging scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds, including musicology, sociology, art history, literary theory, philosophy, politics, film studies and media studies. Bowie's complexity as a singer, songwriter, producer, performer, actor and artist demands that any critical engagement with his overall work must be interdisciplinary and wide-ranging in its scope. The chapters are organised around the key themes of 'textualities', 'psychologies', 'orientalisms', 'art and agency' and 'performing and influencing' in Bowie's work. This comprehensive book contributes a great deal to the study of popular music, performance, gender, religion, popular media and celebrity.

Karl Merton Ferron / Baltimore Sun
March 26, 2013
Low. Last month's signing of Dumervil gives the Ravens what they had long been seeking: a dominant pass rusher to pair with Suggs. They also used their top pick in last year's draft on Upshaw, who had a pretty solid rookie season, and plan on using defensive end Pernell McPhee a little on the outside. Much like the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens are of the mindset that you can never have enough pass rushers. However, they are pretty content with their stable of outside linebackers and it doesn't figure to be a priority on either Day One or Day Two of the draft.

Val d'Isere? Chamonix? Aspen? No, it's Yad Moss in Cumbria
Last updated at 10:22, Tuesday, 22 January 2013
Some like it hot – but these winter sports fans enjoyed it cold as they grabbed a piste of the action to take to Cumbria's equivalent to the Alps.
A remote corner of the county took on the look of a ski resort as the cold spell delivered snow to fells outside Alston, drawing dozens to the white-covered slopes.
Skiers and snowboarders wrapped up against the sub-zero temperatures swooped down the Yad Moss Snow Slope, leaping over jumps and shooting down the fell.
About 60 people took to the slope, run by volunteers from the club Carlisle Ski Centre, as it opened last Wednesday.
The fell, known as Burnhope Seat, made for a stunning setting. Surrounded by vast open space, the bright clothes of those taking part stood out against the white backdrop as the sun glinted off the snow when the clouds parted.
People had parked on the side of the country road below and clambered out to put on ski jackets, woolly hats, gloves and salopettes.
A poma tow pulled skiiers and snowboarders up the slope for them to pause at the top before hurtling down.
Snowboarder Allen Williams, of Willow Close, Penrith, was with friend Matthew Cook, of Langwathby. Allen said: "We just checked the website and it said it was open so we came over. We're really enjoying the day."
Peter Hetherington, a volunteer at the slope, said it had opened for more than 70 days during the harsh winter of two years ago but they had managed just two days this season. "We've not had that much snow this year so we've got to open when we can," he added.
The snow slope, which has eight runs, has been run by volunteers for nearly 40 years.
For details go to www.yadmoss.co.uk or call 01228 561634.

How many cubic inches?
Anyone know how many cubic inches the 09 Ram Hemi engine is?
I was wondering that myself and the calculations work out to 5.7L=350 cu. in. more or less.
What got me to the calculations was trying to make a comparison to other vehicles I drove. The first car I ever drove was a '76 Buick Century (the one with the ugly front end) with a 350 V8. It was rated somewhere in the vicinity of 200 HP and got 12 MPG on a good day. My '09 Ram with the 5.7L Hemi is almost double the HP and I'm averaging 16-17 MPG overall and 20+ on the highway. Engine technology sure has come a along way.
In cubic inches 347.835341 = L 5.7 , So if you are going to work on your truck you need both SAE and metric wrenches.

2015 Honda Pilot Redesign Engine Specifications
Should you find a perfect crossover SUV which is offered at the most competitive price, there is no doubt that 2015 Honda Pilot redesign is on your list. Many would expect that the new model will have a more powerful engine. Well, is it true? Some trusted sources said that the new model will be powered by a 3.5 liter v6 which delivers power as much as 310 HP and is paired with the 6 speed automatic transmission. As for its design, the new model will be released in a more modern look including some changes made for the interior. When compared to its predecessor which is a bit bulky, the new model will have a more elegant shape, less boxy shape.

Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
crap back ordered but thanks, i almost got 2 of them but they went out of stock fast.
Please keep up the threads for us Canucks looking for 480's :)
Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
Perhaps we should have all these merged into a 470/480 availability thread?
Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
yeah, there should be a sticky for gtx 470/480 availability.
Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
crossing my fingers found another online shop that has Msi ones right now.
We shall see if my order ships.
Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
did you go to my pc cyber thread? they have 10 in online stock.
Re: gtx 480 at canada computers
no i didnt but thats where i found them lol, thanks for looking bro.
Hopefully they dont screw it up like extremepc, never dealt with cyberpc before but i phoned and they said 2 cards are saved for me.
I find it quite irritating that they have everything listed as in stock(extremepc) when in reality they have nothing in stock and let you make a order under the assumption they have them in stock, they even give you a 2 day or overnight option and give you a estimated date on recieving them of 48 hours later. In reality they have 0 stock and are just taking orders to hopefully fill later.

I really hope karma bites this guy in the rear. He definitely has alot of people talking about him...all negative however. Here was a post from a blog I found today.
Dear Damian,
I am a gluten-free potential restaurant patron and as such, would like to educate you a bit on your anti-"gluten-free" rants on facebook.
(For those not on Celiac.com, Karina's Kitchen blog, or any number of other high-profile gluten-free websites, here is a sample link to the online explosion discussing this "chef" and what he posted on his facebook wall for the entire world to see: Damian Cardone )
I am certain you know absolutely nothing about Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance, or various other reasons why one would find it necessary to maintain a strict gluten-free diet, but as you call yourself a "chef" and claim to have studied under an entire host of more famous, better educated chefs whom I am certain would be embarrassed to be lumped together with you right now (severely anger any large people group who sustains your livelihood and you stand alone), I decided I should personally educate you.
I should also mention that I have been one of those "liberal hippie idiot" diners (and anyone who knows me is spitting coffee at their computer screens right now) ordering the gluten-free meal. I have been gluten-free for five years now. I was gluten-free before gluten-free was cool.
You posted:
"May god help the Liberal hippie idiot whos going to ask for gluten free pasta this weekend."
"Gluten free is bullXXX!! Flour and bread have been a staple of life for thousands, THOUSANDS of years. People who claim to be gluten intolorent dont realize that its all in there disturbed liitle heads. People ask me for gluten free pasta in my restaurant all the time, I tell em sure, Then I serve serve em our pasta, Which I make from scratch with high gluten flour. And you know what? nothing, NOTHING! ever happens! People leave talking about how good they feel gluten free and guess what, They just had a full dose! Idiots!"
(by the way... you misspelled "intolerant" ... just an ironic little heads up.)
If you would like to know why it is that your patrons leave and you never see any effects of their just being poisoned, it's because (and this is KEY for you to understand) this is not an "allergic reaction" type dietary restriction on the same level as a nut allergy which would cause anaphylaxis. Many of those who are gluten-free do have a secondary skin-inflammation that happens when they use lotions or creams with wheat protein, but that's not central to the actual dietary need to remain gluten-free. This is an "allergy" that happens in the INTESTINES. Now, I doubt you have the type of establishment in which diners hang out for hours on end after being poisoned, but if you did... I feel quite certain that you would be witness to some of the most atrocious "reactions" you have ever witnessed.
If you have ever had food poisoning, ever had the flu, ever laid on the floor of the bathroom with your cheek on the cold ceramic tile - shaking and shivering - you have a clue as to what happens when you poison your diners with "high-gluten flour" pasta. I can't even imagine anyone hiring or continuing to employ such a flagrant liability as you, but I can guarantee if I were to eat at your restaurant and become that sick, I would know without a doubt that I had eaten gluten and that you and your restaurant were the culprit. And I would show up at the restaurant the next day (or 48 hours since usually I can't leave the house for that long when I get poisoned) and discuss these ramifications in person.
Furthermore, the effects of such a poisoning can last many days. Those with full-blown Celiac Disease actually have intestinal damage which can be seen during a scoping procedure following even a slight gluten-ingestion (such as the gluten in a beef base containing Modified Food Starch coming from wheat or barley)... much less a full onslaught from being intentionally poisoned. I am sure that any unsuspecting diner would welcome you into the exam room while they have such a procedure preformed, and you can even have one as well for comparison purposes!
Lest you think I am being hard on you because I don't understand the stressful nature of your job, my husband is a chef. A really awesome one at that. He has won competitions all over the country and has ACF medals stashed in his glove compartment, cups in the garage, and various drawers all over the house. He teaches morons uninformed chefs like yourself. He judges competitions and tests chefs for their next certification level. What is your ACF certification level? I bet I know.
When we go out to eat, he helps me decipher menu items under the lens of his experience in kitchens for the past 20 years. He has multiple family members who are gluten-free and has many, many years of experience and I am sure he would gladly come to your restaurant and inform you personally of the culinary malpractice of which you are so boldly admitting.
Finally, Mr. Cardone, good luck finding employment. Last I checked, a quick "googling" of your name brought up blog posts like this one, articles quoting your facebook rants, and various websites mentioning your ineptness. Not ONE result was a good review, a competition you have won, or a newspaper article singing your praises.
I would recommend an apology, and that you take some continuing education classes on allergen awareness, celiac disease, cooking for those with intolerances, and perhaps good business practices in the electronic/social media age.

Yesterday from 17:15 to 18:00, Murray undertook a bird count from Allen's Hill at RSPB Cliffe Pools. It was a mild day, mostly cloudy with occasional sun and a fresh south-westerly wind. 3 Barnacle Geese (still present on grazing marsh north of pools), 148 Shelduck, 95 Shoveler, 1 Scaup (female on Black-Barns 4), 1 Spoonbill (roosting on Flamingo Pool), 260 Avocet (high tide roost of 175 on Flamingo Pool and 85 on Hidden/Radar Pool island), 450 Dunlin (high tide roost on islands), 1650 Black-tailed Godwit (high tide roost on Ski/Hidden Pool islands. A superb mass of reddish brown!), 330 Redshank (high tide roost on islands).
On Sunday afternoon Murray Orchard visited Cliffe Pools where it was increasingly cloudy with a fresh southerly wind. His count at the reserve was taken at high tide (13.11) and he reported - 131 Shelduck (Flamingo Pool), 905 Wigeon (Ski/Hidden Pools), 97 Pintail (Black Barn Pools and Ski/Hidden Pools), 910 Shoveler (yet another record count - 720 on Black Barn Pools, 190 on Flamingo/Ski/Hidden Pools), 20 Goldeneye (11 on Flamingo Pool, 9 on Radar Pool - total of 5 drakes), 2 Marsh Harrier, 30 Avocet (leaving roost as I arrived at 13.30. Not sure why all the waders left at high tide, perhaps too much raptor disturbance (Marsh Harrier)?), 3000 Dunlin (estimate of flock attempting to roost on pool islands, very flighty and left by 14.00), 500 Black-tailed Godwit (estimate of flock attempting to roost on pool islands, very flighty and headed off north at 13.40), 1 Mediterranean Gull, and 1 Kingfisher. Close by at Cliffe Marshes Murray also reported 2 Ravens (often seen together, probably a pair), which were on sheep marsh near Cliffe Fleet. One was mobbed by/mobbing a Marsh Harrier.
The number of birds at Cliffe Pools this week has presented something of a challenge. The enormous flock of Black-tailed Godwit were beyond my abilities, so I took a picture, and then, once home, increased the contrast, gridded the image and started counting... it took a good hour before I arrived at 5,257, so, adding the ones just off the bottom of the image I thought 5,500 was a good estimate. I don't know how one of our regular ornithologists arrived at his estimate but, if he was counting them on site through a telescope, his figure of 5,320 is remarkably close! That's skill.
Consequently I hold great store in his estimate for the other birds down at Cliffe Pools this week, around 5,000 Dunlin, 620 Shoveler, 183 Pintail, and 232 Gadwall. There were large numbers of Teal and Wigeon also.
While filming with the BBC on the marshes we commented on the Gadwall - such an understated duck, and yet so beautiful. They appear just plain grey with pitch black 'sterns' and occasionally a lovely flash of white in the wings. Our wildlife cameraman, Graham Hatherley, commented on their plumage close-up, "Have you ever held a Gadwall?" he asked, as if this was a normal thing to have done. "The vermiculations in the feathers!" I remembered this detail, the fine, meandering lines through the flanks, from a working drawing by the renowned avian artist Charles Tunnicliffe. What I did not know, that Graham proceeded to inform us, is that 'vermiculation' the word, comes from the Latin for 'worm', and the intricate pattern is reminiscent of worm casts or trails. So, be sure to be mesmerised by the wheeling flocks of birds this winter out on the marshes, but never forget also to look for the detail.

Lovely 1820 Square Base 2 Five Dollar in MS 621820 $5 Square Base 2 MS 62 PCGS. Large Letters. B. 1-B, Miller-130. An impressive example of this scarcer issue in the Capped Bust left series of half eagles. The strike is very well executed, leaving only a touch of softness on the eagle's claws and there is attractive orange patination about the peripheral devices. Luster is the equal of any we have seen on the issue and the only readily discernable grade-limiting factor is a hint of chatter in the most exposed areas of the fields. (NGC ID# 25PT, PCGS# 8125)

Sultan Aziz, Head, Capacity Management at J&J, has been added to the agenda as a speaker.
"Making difficult and long lasting decisions in the portfolio management space is challenging for a variety of reasons," said Matt Kiernan, Partner with Pharmica Consulting. "Most important is the data is never perfect so trying to find ways to implement data standards and to minimize the effort on data scrubbing is difficult. In addition, executives making the resource and portfolio decisions are busy people, with a lot on their mind. Proving the right methods for what you present and how you present the data is critical."

This is my second favorite movie behind T2 Judgement Day from 1991.
The movie is the story of a firefighting department with two firefighting brothers who have throughout their lives been at odds with each otehr. However, their distant relations have been put to the test when a string of fires caused by arson attacks pop up all over the ghettos of Chicago.
Even worse is that the department is being deprived of funds by a sleazy bureucratic alderman and it's an unplesant and dangerous twist of turns as they find out whose responsible for the string of arson induced fires.
William Baldwin and Kurt Russell are absolutley fabulous playing the often clashing McCaffrey bothers as they fight numerous fires and face off against a 'beast' that burns along the walls and ceilings of the rooms.
The fiery special effects are just magnificent and makes this movie even better.
This is a truly magnificant movie. The DVD offers nothing new other than excellent improvement in quality over the VHS. By far one of the best movies of 1991.

Kurt Russell and William Baldwin are firefighter brothers carrying on the legacy of their father who was killed in the line of duty. Russell is hard nosed, swaggering "Bull" while baby brother Baldwin, a neophyte fireman, is sensitive and simmers with hostility at serving under rough, tough Russell. Political hanky panky has understaffed the fire department, plus arson is suspected causing an increase in death and injuries of firefighters.
The script is so predictable, it is hard to fault the actors; however, I would say Robert de Niro mainly showed up to collect his paycheck. Kurt Russell sparks whatever emotional empathy is available in a fine performance as the bullying, but strangely pure Stephen. I have a bit of fondness for the Baldwin brothers, so was satisfied with Billy's mostly soulful face throughout. Donald Sutherland was excellent in a small role as a creepy, soft-spoken former arsonist. Rebecca de Mornay and Jennifer Jason Leigh were both mainly wasted in their Loyal Ladies in Waiting roles. The pace is excellent, so boredom is never a factor.
The "extras" in the DVD are almost nonexistent, but sound and picture are good. I have this nervous feeling that every arsonist in the world had "Backdraft" on his/her must-see list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Firehouse Fairy Tale...,
Ron Howard's Backdraft, is a film that centers on the lives of two brothers. Their father, a Chicago firefighter, was killed on the job when they were young boys. As adults, the McCaffreys, are both members of fire department. The elder brother Stephen (Kurt Russell), nicknamed "Bull", is a veteran firefighter, who prefers taking on a fire head on. His younger brother Brian (William Baldwin), is a recent graduate into the department, and though he seeks to serve out of his brother's shadow, he finds himself assigned to Bull's stationhouse. While Bull is something of a legend within the department, all is not perfect in his life, as estranged from his wife (Rebecca DeMornay), he lives on his father's old dry docked boat.
The family drama is set against a subplot, involving a series of suspicious fires that are being investigated by the fire department's arson specialist, Lt. Rimgale (Robert De Niro). A local Alderman (J.T. Walsh) responsible for budget cutbacks to the department, is pressing Rimgale for answers. After another clash with his big brother, Brian transfers to Rimgale's arson investigation unit.
Once this occurs, the story expands to become more than just a sibling rivalry, as the focus shifts to the investigation of arson and other matters. De Niro, Baldwin, Walsh and Donald Sutherland, who plays a crazed imprisoned arsonist, then assume more primary roles. The physics of a backdraft are quite fascinating, and the results spectacular and explosive. The film does feature some fine special effects and stunts, related to the fire fighting scenes. The identity of the arsonist, and the reasons for the crimes, may not be very credible, but the film proceeds towards a spectacular and emotional finish. In the end, it all comes back to the two brothers, and the special bond between firefighters.
The film does have its flaws. Baldwin (28) and Russell (40) are a bit of a mismatch as brothers, with more of an age difference as adults, than it appeared when they were children. The incident where Brian mistakenly rescues a mannequin is simply ridiculous. And the attempts to attribute to fire almost metaphysical qualities, may be something only firemen can truly appreciate. While the film's focus does bounce around a bit between drama, adventure and suspense, overall the presentation is still worth seeing. The DVD however offers very little in the way of extras.
5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Action-Melodrama!,
Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews
Viewed in the context of a post 911 world, this terrific film directed by Ron Howard becomes even more meaningful as a detailed portrait of the lives and lifestyles of a group of Chicago firemen trying to come to terms with as series of violet arson/murders plaguing the metropolitan landscape. And, given Kurt Russell's appeal as an action hero, this gorgeously filmed epic take on the look and feel of a travelogue into a fiery Hell! The cast is uniformly superb, ranging from Russell as the older brother whose intimidating presence is so troubling for William Baldwin, who is trying to join what amounts to the family business, and one their hero father died in the line of duty participating in.
Also terrific here is Scott Glenn as one of the senior firemen on Russell's squad, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Baldwin's long-lost love now working for an ambitious local city council member. Robert DeNiro appears as an eclectic and somewhat iconoclastic specialist trying to piece together the forensic evidence, and Donald Sutherland makes a cameo as a Looney-tunes firebug who absolutely thrills at the sight, smells and sounds of the backdraft. And of course, the quite lovely Rebecca DeMornay does an interesting turn as Russell's estranged wife, trying to come to terms with how to live either with or without him.
The story is quite absorbing, as are the series of vignettes bringing us deep into the world of the individual firemen. As a result, we come to quickly care about what happens to these characters as they suit up and slip down the pole to the waiting fire-truck, en route to yet another inferno. The drama works very well, and the action sequences are both realistic and spectacular, and the way the characters are developed and presented adds immeasurably to the story line. This is one sure to stir up your juices and get you going. This one get two thumbs way up! Enjoy!
3.0 out of 5 stars Special Effects Make It Mildy Entertaining,
Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - See all my reviews
My father was a fire fighter, so when I was growing up I spent a great deal of time hanging around the fire station. And virtually any one who knows anything at all about fire fighting will tell you this is one of the most completely unrealistic films you could ever hope to see. Fire fighters rush into buring yet strangely smokeless rooms with their coats flapping open and without the proper safety equipment, and in spite of the title's implication the phenomena they are talking about is called "flashover," not "backdraft." In fact, there are so many inaccuracies in this film that a grad student could probably catalogue them as a doctorial thesis.
All this having been said, BACKDRAFT is the well-crafted but essentially superficial film typical of director Ron Howard: everything is very, very slick and looks good on the screen, particularly the male leads. The story itself concerns two brothers (Kurt Russell and William Baldwin) who somehow find themselves employed by the same unit and who must bury their differences to combat a wiley arsonist with the aid of their able Lieutenant (Robert De Niro) and a flakey advisor who knows about pyromanics since he himself used to be one (Donald Sutherland.) The cast is good, the script is mechanical, and the plot is improbable--but all of this is actually beside the point, because everything about the film exists only as an excuse for lots of special effects.
And it is here that the film finally gets good marks. The pyrotechnics are great, and the film actually manages to create the impression of an out-of-control fire as something akin to a ravening beast--very impressive, and often as not more than a little unnerving. And so for once the fire, not the fire fighters, saves the day by making the film mildly enjoyable. If you can ignore the inaccuracies and take the film as a special effects film akin to the likes of VOLCANO, which had an equally silly premise, you'll probably enjoy it. Just don't expect to come out of it with even a remote idea of how fire fighters actually work. Final thought: rent it first, because one time through will probably be enough.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hot action and even hotter men,
Charlotte (uk) - See all my reviews
I love the film 'Backdraft'.Many firefighters watching have criticised it but it's not real life is it? The film stars a very good-looking William Baldwin and a muscley looking Kurt Russell.They star as the McCaffrey brothers,whose father was killed in a fire years before.The two feuding siblings are forced to work with each other in the same firefighting unit which neither is happy about.Stephen (Russell) feels he has to protect his younger brother and Brian (Baldwin)feels he has to do well in front of his 'kick-[bootie]' firefighter big brother.It is good to see Russell attempt some emotional roles and he plays his brotherly role well,the scenes where Brian rescues a mannequin and Stephen chases him up to the fire-station roof always have me laughing as well as the 'War' song.And the wonderful lines 'Look at him,that's my brother ...' and 'who's your brother Brian' have me blubbing like a baby 10 minutes before they even come on.The great scenes with Stephen fixxing Brian's fire-suit always get to me too.Brothers hey,you gotta love them and this film is such a great example of fire,bravery and brotherly love.
5.0 out of 5 stars MUltiple plots well connected,
Paul Sayles (Japan) - See all my reviews
Backdraft has an excellent cast that meshes well together. It has several plots, a serial arsonist, economic cutbacks and two brothers working in the shadow of their fireman hero father - klolled in the line of duty.
This whole film works well. DeNiro is excellent as the arson investigator for the fire department. Russell and Baldwin are also compelling as two brothers - one a career firefighter and the other a novice who turns to the firedepartment only after all other ventures have fizzeled out.
Both brothers are complex. Russell is seperated from his wife - or maybe divorced that part is a little vague. What has driven them apart is his attitude towards the job and the emotional toll it is taking on his wife who wants to raise her son in a more normal environment. Baldwin on the other hand, is trying to work under his brother's pressure and the shadow of his dead father.
While some actors and actresses have short screen time, DeMornay and Sutherland, they are critical to the overall success of the film.
The alderman and mayor wannabe is the perfect sleezy corrupt politician who knows no bounds in getting his politcal career advanced. The fact that he is getting associates killed is of little seeming consequence.
The fire screens were excellent. You could almost feel the heat of the flames.
The funeral cortege through the streets of Chicago are breath-taking and moving. The camera cutting to the massed ranks of firemen, is breath-taking. The music is magnificent and makes the scene more telling.
In all, this is an excellent adventure and mystery film that is a fine work depicting the life of firemen in a major metropolitan city. I highly recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story, Great Effects...,
Chase (Somewhere) - See all my reviews
Backdraft is the story of two feuding brothers tryng to keep the legacy of the McCaffrey fire fighting clan going. Steven (Kurt Russell) does a suberb job as the leutinunt of station 17 in Chicago. He has a more succesful job as a fireman than his brother Brian (William Balwin). Baldwin, does an outstanding job as well as his older brother. Brian quit fire once and decides to try it one more time. He ends up quitting halfway thru the movie. Detective Rimgale does what i think is the best job of any actor in Backdraft. His role played by Robert DeNiro is to find out whether the fire is natural or arson. Donald Suthrland, although not in it too much, does a great job playing phsycho, Ronald Bartel. Ronald helps Brian find the killer. John "Axe" Adcox is played by Scott Glenn. He does a fine job as the senior fireman. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays Jennifer, Brian's girlfriend. She could've done a better job playing her role. Rebecca DeMornay plays Steven's ex-wife. She does not appear a whole lot. Fire is the main character in this film. It has awe-inspiring special effects and some of the most amazing fire scenes ever caught on tape.
3.0 out of 5 stars Great fire scenes, great actors, poor story,
Despite the hokey storyline of two brothers locked in enmity working for the same firehouse company, this movie is worth watching for the excellent fire scenes. But cadet firefighters beware: this movie is NOT NFPA APPROVED. The firefighters in this movie scorn protective gear, spurn self-contained breathing apparatus, and breach 100 other firefighting regs all in the name of maverick machismo. And the hero plies the heroine with his, er, hose atop the hoses on an Engine. Definitely not usage as per regulations and would earn a severe reprimand. After all, it results in a life threatening delay in deploying the 2-1/2 inch while a brassiere is untangled from it. A funny part to watch for is the catchphrase 'It's in the walls!' as smoke gets mysteriously sucked back I suppose into the walls leaving the structure unblackened and unscorched, just as if the video had been reversed. Oh yeah, duh. Anyway, great cameos by grouchy investigator De Niro and twisted arsonist Sutherland. Watch it, enjoy it, suspend disbelief during it. The first rescue scene for example. Even wearing bunker gloves a firefighter should take that pronounced a degree of rigor mortis as clear evidence of what is technically referred to in the trade as "dead".
5.0 out of 5 stars A great film!!,
By A Customer
If you like to watch a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat with great special effects and wonderful, true to life character interactions, I definitely recommend Ron Howard's Backdraft. The interactions among all the actors come across as very natural, as if all the actors where actually who they were playing, making the characters more believable. Not only are the characters believable, but the special effects that continue through out the movie, whether big or small, pull everything together to make Backdraft one of the best films I have ever seen. The basis of this movie is that people around the Chicago area are dying by way of these backdrafts. It is up to the arson investigator, played by Robert DeNiro to find out what is going on. The other characters involved are two brothers who's father died serving the same fire department they work for. Kurt Russell plays the oldest brother, Lieutenant Stephen 'Bull' McCaffrey ,who has been with the force for many years, and William Baldwin plays the younger brother, Brian McCaffrey who just joined the force. Throughout the movie the two brothers battle conflict with each other relating to sibling rivalry among other things, and Brian ends up leaving the force to join the arson investigating office.. Other characters involved around the two brothers are Rebecca De Mornay, who plays Helen McCaffrey, the ex-wife of Kurt Russell. Her part is not that large, but the importance of her character in regards to Kurt Russell is definitely noticeable, and the friendship that still exists between them is easy to relate to. Jennifer Jason Leigh, who plays Jennifer Vaitkus, the ex-girlfriend of William Baldwin, has a bit of a larger role. Not only does she appear from William Baldwin's past, but she now holds the position of Assistant to the Alderman, to whom many contacts will be made. Donald Sutherland, who plays Ronald Bartel, a former arsonist who understands the criminal psychology of pyromaniacs, gives insight to the arson investigation team, by sharing some of his own stories of arson from his past. Scott Glenn plays the role as a fellow firefighter "Axe" Adcox. His character is that of a supporting brotherly figure, to which is not quite appreciated. Finally there is J.T. Walsh, who gives an excellent supporting performance as the sleazy Alderman Swayczak. He is responsible for making changes within the Chicago fire department that do not benefit the department all that well. All of the actors work great together, and seem natural among one another. These special effects, by far, make the movie mesmerizing. Not only do you see the fire as it threatens the characters and destroys everything in its path, but you get to see an insight of how fire really moves, how it breaths, and how it can dance and hide with the wink of the eye. One particular scene, where a building is on fire and the two brothers must go in after a little boy, really give you the feeling of being up close and personal with the fire around them.. You feel the fear of being hurt along the anticipation of trying to save the life of the little boy right along side the characters. The combination of great characters and believable situations, make this story memorable. The story, written by Gregory Widen, is not only full of action, but in some situations, it shows how life really is.. Whether it is the friction felt by siblings trying to live up to false expectations of one another, or doing the right thing when it comes to your job and your personal friendships, nothing in this story appears impossible. Over all a great combination of characters, actors and producer that make one heck of a good film.
