Deplorable cops gone wild.
Ayer does it again. The movie is simply stunning. Action packed and well acted. Whitaker and Reeves shine in a galaxy of stars. You will never look at your phone book the same way again. A Must see for the spring!
So overall, Street Kings is one gritty cop drama that practically succeeds on almost every level. It's a great movie from start to finish that delivers one of Keanu Reeves' strongest performances. This one might not be for everyone, but I totally recommend this one if you are a fan of director David Ayer's other gritty cop dramas like Training Day, Harsh Times & Dark Blue. Also, fans of Reeves, Whitaker & Laurie should also like this as much as I did. PEACE OUT!!!
"Street Kings" definitely has the street-cred. Keanu looks real bad-ass, Forrest Whittaker looks like he's digging back into the character he played on "The Shield", writer director David Ayer is no stranger to life on the cop circuit, having written "Dark Blue" and "Training Day among others, and the movie also brings on the token rappers for good measure in Common and The Game. But does it work? Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a Vice detective on a Special Forces unit in LA, led by Ludlow's friend and former partner Captain Wander (Forrest Whittaker). Ludlow's a dirty cop, but he feels in a good way. He'll execute and then tweak the crime scene if it means taking the low-lifes off the streets for good.
His former partner Terrance Washington (Terry Crews) doesn't see it that way though, as he is in the midst of ratting him out to the head of Internal Affairs, Captain Biggs (Hugh Laurie). When he finds out, Tom follows Washington around, walking right into a convenience store robbery where Washington is gunned down execution style. Wander tells Tom he'll take care of it, but Tom is a man who values justice more than anything. He partners with a homicide detective named Diskant (Chris Evans) to follow the evidence and solve the murder.
The movie, by David Ayer, couldn't be more hard-core. It's filled with riveting gun-battles and fights and it's a movie not afraid to show some real brutal violence and blood. The verbal exchanges between characters are also exceptionally written, heated and intense with a good ear for dialogue. My favorite line by far this year is "Why don't you do the department a favor and clean your mouth out with a buck-shot." And the story pulls off a compelling morality play, sending Tom up a ladder of murder and corruption, and at the same time, climbing him further toward his own redemption. Sure, you can probably see the ending coming if your paying close enough attention, but think about it, the movie couldn't end in a better way.
This is the kind of movie Reeves is excellent in, giving his character edge and toughness but also never losing track of the character's underlying moral dilemma. Whittaker is also incredible in this movie, sinking his teeth into a character who's basically portrayed as "The Godfather" of LA. Hugh Laurie shows up every once in a while, the character feels underwritten though. Chris Evans does a decent job, Cedric The Entertainer and Jay Mohr are nice additions who add some comedy, and it's a small role but Naomie Harris deserves a shout-out for playing the down-to-earth voice of reason character.
"Street Kings" is hard-nosed, gritty filmmaking. The cast is right on the money, the writing and direction is terrific, and the action couldn't be more exciting. The year is still young but this is one of my favorite films so far.
I was not expecting Street Kings to be as good as it was. It was really fun to watch and I enjoyed it all. I found it to be all that a action movie should be... Exciting, fun, dramatic and full of twists and turns. Not so much that you couldn't see some of them coming but the fact that they did was a good thing. The enjoyment level for this movie for a friday night was great and wroth it. But overall it was a 8 out of 10 after the fact. But really liked it. Highly recomened to anyone looking for a good cop drama/action/thriller.
My recomendation: See it in theaters
the moviewookie
Awesome Movie about cops. Real life scenarios here. Seen this happen in the streets. Love the entire movie from beginning to end.
;) Theater
My Review: My husband wanted to see this - not my genre, and Keanu Reeves is not a fav actor of mine. This is Hollywood's version of corrupt cops in L.A. You don't know who the bad guys are from the good cops or the corrupt cops. The beginning is off - the actors, surprisingly including Forest Whitaker, seemed like they were just reading their lines. I kept thinking, "this isn't real." Then it picked up a bit and was okay. Wasn't a very original plot. You've probably seen it all before. Note: lots of close-range shootings and course language throughout. 107 minutes? Wow, it seemed much longer.
Keanu Reeves plays Tom Ludlow, a veteran LAPD Vice Detective. Ludlow sets out on a quest to discover the killers of his former partner, Detective Terrance Washington. Forest Whitaker plays Captain Wander, Ludlow's supervisor, whose duties include keeping him within the confines of the law and out of the clutches of Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Hugh Laurie). Ludlow teams up with a young Robbery Homicide Detective (Chris Evans) to track Washington's killers through the diverse communities of Los Angeles. Their determination pays off when the two Detectives track down Washington's murderers and confront them in an attempt to bring them to justice.
A mediocre, over-edited piece of film. Maybe I was tired, but I had trouble keeping the names of all the characters straight. It seemed like a film that was following a familiar formula and seemed disorganized until the end. At least there was resolution, but by that time I had a headache trying to keep up with who they were talking about and what was going on. The scene where Keanu escapes his captors was pretty good, but I didn't buy him in this role. Nor did I warm up to Whitaker, Hugh Laurie, or any of the other characters in their respective roles. My favorite was probably Cedric "The Entertainer." He actually surprised me. The female characters all seemed to blend together, not one stood out as memorable. This film just didn't stand up to prior efforts in this genre. I was disappointed that this superstar cast and director didn't deliver a better end-product.
If you want some action on the big screen, catch the matinee. It has its moments. For those that aren't big fans of this type of fiilm, wait for the dvd. It was not that memorable.
Aside from being a collective of "oh I know that guy" type actors and crossover celebrities, Street Kings turned out to be a pretty entertaining film. Not attempting to win any awards for writing or originality, it seemed like the main intent of the movie was to paint a picture of corruption and the L.A.P.D. Though I found it hard enough to accept Keanu Reeves as a broken military-caliber cop, it was even harder watching Cedric The Entertainer and Terry Crews play serious roles. Forrest Whittaker must have been in a good mood to accept a part in this one, but I will chalk it up to his willingness to help out a young cast by donating some real acting to the mix.
Street Kings details the life of Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves), a renegade badass, killer cop with a chip on his shoulder. Tom's shoot first, ask later tactics are always covered up by his congratulatory boss Captain Jack Wander (Forrest Whittaker) and scoffed at by rival officer Terrence Washington (Terry Crews). Things seem to stick to this method until an officer is killed off duty by two gang members and Tom is caught on camera during the entire episode doing little to nothing to help the officer. Captain Jack steps in to help Tom cover his tracks but the hot headed Tom goes on a vendetta to find the two killers. What he exposes during his hunt for the two gangsters leads to an unexpected twist in corruption that will force him to point the gun in the opposite direction...
Yes we have all heard this plotline before, a few hundred times but it is like the feel good sports movie or the chick flick... predictable but entertaining. This movie has every cop cliche you can think of outside of donuts. You have your corrupt cop, your Dirty Harry cop, your ambitious cop, your lazy cop, your a-hole cop and your young hero cop. The cinematography is dark and gritty, and the camera scarcely leaves Keanu's back so it's like watching the cop version of Grand Theft Auto. Here's the part where I gloa on the things I liked the most... Martha Higareda was sexy, Naomie Harris was beautiful with some unbelievable lips... good to see her in a regular role since her part on Pirates of the Carribean hid her true looks to us fanbois. I wanted to offer her a sandwich though, she needs to eat something, maybe I can send her and Keira Knightley a few gift certificates to Bennigans. Anyway Forrest Whittaker delivered like he always does and I must say I love Keanu Reeves in these roles. Neo seems to do best as the dark, troubled anti-hero, ie: Constantine, Neo, and erm A Scanner Darkley.
I cannot reccommend you go burn money on this, but if you like Common, Cedric The Entertainer, Jay Mohr (for you Jim Rome clones out there), The Game and any other rapper I may have missed, then go see it. There seems to be a trend with the get a rapper in a badly written action movie thing going that is actually working these days post DMX. I must think on this... oh I know, they just rehash old scripts, meh whatever, it was an entertaining flick. Check it out.
This was a really fun movie, i went in there thinkin it probably was going to suck but i ended up really liking it

Wildcats pounce on Coyotes
Calallen offense rocks Uvalde for playoff victory
SAN ANTONIO - Any qualms Calallen had about playing Uvalde in the fourth round of the Class 4A baseball playoffs didn't bother the Wildcats very long.
Try about an inning.
Riding the arm of junior ace Ryan Duke and an unrelenting offense, the defending state champions rolled to a 10-3 victory Friday afternoon at the San Antonio Independent School District's Spring Sports Complex. Calallen holds a 1-0 lead in the best-of-3 regional semifinal series, which resumes today at the same site for a second and possible third game.
The defending state champion Wildcats (32-7) clobbered three Uvalde pitchers for 12 hits, the first two leading to three runs in the second inning. Calallen closed out its performance at the plate with four runs on five hits in the top of the seventh.
Duke, meanwhile, scattered five hits and struck out six to improve to 11-2. The right-hander recorded eight straight outs to open the game and retired seven of the final eight batters he faced.
"It was a very good win," Calallen coach Steve Chapman said. "We know they're a very good ballclub. We just came out and did some things right."
If Calallen can do more of the same in today's Game 2, the Wildcats can secure a spot in next week's regional final against New Braunfels. The Unicorns prevailed 4-0 in a one-game playoff Friday night at San Antonio's Blossom Athletic Center.
Uvalde starter Brooks Raley (12-2) needed only seven pitches to record the game's first three outs. The top of the second lasted much longer.
Steven Vidaurri led off with a walk and went to second when Sean Hoelscher was hit by a pitch. The two scored easily on Miller's triple to the gap in right-center field, giving Calallen a quick 2-0 lead.
"We got on top early and that's what we needed to come out and do," Miller said. "We had some key hits in key situations. When you put up 10 runs and Duke is on the mound, you can win any game."
The Wildcats added another run in the second on Bucky Bryant's sacrifice fly to right, which allowed Miller to trot home. Calallen continued its attack in the third when Wes Callihan and courtesy runner Logan Verrett scored on a fielding error by Uvalde shortstop Steven Smith.
Duke retired the first eight batters he faced, two on strikeouts and five on grounders. He gave up consecutive singles to Blake Baker and Raley with two outs in the bottom of the third, but struck out James Hipp to end the inning.
The Coyotes (29-6-1) mounted a brief rally in the fourth when Smith was hit on the left toe with one out. He stole second and then moved to third on a wild pitch before Calallen shortstop Jeramie Marek botched the grab on a grounder by Joey Perez.
Smith scored easily on the play to bring Uvalde to within 5-1 and cut the deficit to two with a two-run single in the top of the fifth. The Unicorns did little else after that, but not Calallen.
The Wildcats extended their advantage to 6-3 in the sixth when Marek scored on a base hit to left by Duke. Calallen pushed its lead to seven runs with four runs in top of the seventh, including a two-run single by Shane Athans.
Marek and Callihan each added RBI-singles to wrap up the scoring, which only added to Duke's confidence on the mound.
"Most times I can go out and pinpoint my fastball, but today I didn't really have it," Duke said. "Coming alive at the plate with 10 runs is awesome, especially against a great team like that. It was also a big plus for me."

~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Please provide a list of all of the features that were in 3.X, but have now been removed in 4.0Has that ability to view download count for a file in post been completely removed or is it an option I cannot find?
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Your number one reason for using IPB vs competition?I am ashamed to say how long I have been a client, then I remember how old I am -.-
But I like it because it is simple enough for an amateur to use, still enough complex to keep me interested and learn new things. It looks better than other boards. Something modern with every release. They solved most of the issues I had with board.
And community, this one I mean, people here really help a lot. Can't count the times I sent somebody a message and they helped me out. Dmacleo, Mur, Kirito, Mercher, Ahmad El-Oukly, RedEnzian, etc... Can't count them all now, but if I had to pick one reason, this is the one.
Edit: Also, I think IPS owes me something. If it wasn't good, I would have given up on boards like 5 years ago and have a normal life. Now, after work, I come here or spend time on my board. It made me a social retard. For example, if I go out and meet men, and say words like "board, php, server, IPB" or anything like that, you know what happens? They run away. So before I am 30, and that is soon, I think it would be fair if one of you guys comes here, goes with me to my mother's place so I can say "here, a man, happy?". Think that is the least you can do.

~sullengirl~ added a bug in Bug Tracker[RC5] Too many redirects for a Page that has a Turkish character in titleNoticed this today - I have a Pages article with a name that has a Turkish (I think the guy was Turkish?) character in it. It gives a message "too many redirects", so I thought it might be a bug. Does not give that standard IPB error page, only browser one.

~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Anyone can solve my attachments problem?Is this our solution guys?
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Update 3.4.7 => 4.0 RC4, bug accents and special characters :(Not to ruin your mood - but this special character thing happened to me too, had to manually edit like 500 Pages articles and a lot of topic titles, not crazy enough to edit all the posts, so good luck.
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Anyone can solve my attachments problem?Well, I liked IPB4, plus, I made a backup. I guess I thought I can revert to that backup if something goes wrong, would have, but took me a week to notice trouble, think it is too late now. Waited till RC, since it is supported, did not run into beta.
Worse case scenario, I could lose a month of data, if it gets resolved within a month
It is not my fault they made IPB4 look so good and my sorry ass could wait only for RC.
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Anyone can solve my attachments problem?Good, I am not alone. Hope we can fix this somehow, because if not, I might as well shut my board down, certainly don't have the time to reinsert so many attachments.
This problem persist if I try to run upgrader on test installation from 3.4 database backup too, but it does not show as an error during upgrade.
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Anyone can solve my attachments problem?I have finished all rebuild processes.
Cannot find any rule in this, seems only like older attachments are correctly inserted, seems like images are inserted but pdfs aren't, but can't establish that for certain.
In ACP, for example:
if I click on this direct link, I can download it. If I click on little magnifier on the right, I can't.
~sullengirl~ added a topic in Product FeedbackAnyone can solve my attachments problem?Guys,
when I upgraded to RC, 90% of attachments on my board were not inserted correctly into posts. All attachments are still there, only the link to them is wrong. Can download them normally through ACP.
I did open a ticket 15 days ago, but it is too slow.
If somebody can solve this, I'll pay

~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic Is IPS4 really any good?I love IPB4, love it! Pages is a lot better than Content was, for sure, that is the biggest difference. I had a bit of burnout syndrome with my board, but since IPB4, I find it fun to post and do things there with all the nice (ajax?) features. And it looks a lot better.
I would enjoy it more if I did not have trouble during upgrade and now some things don't work, so users send like 100 same messages a day. And something called Webmaster tools started sending me emails. Hope that gets fixed.
And still trying to find out how to use BBCode.
But still love it.
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic How do I disable e-mail notifications?Thanks Adriano, you rock :*
~sullengirl~ added a post in a topic How do I disable e-mail notifications?So if I already converted friends to followers, no hope?
~sullengirl~ added a topic in Product FeedbackHow do I disable e-mail notifications?Noticed some inactive users have been annoyed by new content e-mail notifications from board, I have disabled it on Members > Notifications (switched from e-mail to notifications), but seems that some are still getting it. Do I also need to disable "notifications" method, or does it just refer to notifications on board?

iPhone lost in Lake Ontario revived by boy and returned to owner
It wasn't until the end of Ryan Abreo's Saturday hanging out with friends on the Toronto Islands that he realized his iPhone 4S was missing.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It wasn't until the end of Ryan Abreo's Saturday hanging out with friends on the Toronto Islands that he realized his iPhone 4S was missing.
Abreo, 31, a vice-president at a marketing company, had accidentally taken his phone swimming. After a futile search, he considered the phone lost forever.
But 10 days later, on Sept. 4, an email landed in his inbox.
"I am Julian, and I found your iPhone on the 28th of August, in the lake on the other side of Centre Island. I am nine. … The phone is NOT DAMAGED. I'm amazed that it's not damaged."
Abreo was in disbelief; he thought a friend was pranking him. He forwarded the email to a friend, who posted it on Reddit.
But it wasn't a joke. Three days after Abreo lost the phone, Julian Kelly was wading through shallow water and picking up stones at Ward's Island Beach when he found it. It was dripping wet and starting to rust.
"He was excited about the chance of having an iPhone … but I said to him that it was probably a $600 paperweight," said his dad, John Kelly, who was with him that day, along with Julian's younger sister.
Julian, a Grade 4 student at Clinton Street Junior Public School, didn't give up. Under his parents' guidance, he put the iPhone in a container of rice — a known strategy for resurrecting waterlogged phones — and left it there for a week.
When he plugged it into his mom Tricia's computer, the phone started charging. Immense excitement followed.
"I thought that if we couldn't find the owner, then I thought that I could sell it to my friends for $600," Julian said.
But the family easily figured out it was Abreo's phone an tracked him down.
When Abreo went to pick it up, Julian gave him a hug first, then the phone. "I was really sort of touched by this kid," Abreo said. "He's a gentleman at a very young age and I really respect it."
Julian's email has accrued more than 15,000 views on Reddit. In gratitude, Abreo gave him a $50 prepaid credit card, money Julian said he will save or spend on Lego.
"If I do save it, it's probably going to be for a castle when I grow up," he added.
Although Abreo bought a new phone after his old one drowned, he said he will return it and keep this one.
"It had a three-day swimming lesson, and I feel like I should hold on to it."

Scotch-loving sports fan looking for sipping and viewing companion.
I graduated from Harvard Law in the spring and am thrilled to finally be living in a real city. I just started as a first year associate at a law firm in Manhattan. This means that I am definitely missing the large amounts of free time I had this time last year, but so far the new job has still been allowing me some free evenings and time during the weekend to meet new people and explore the city. Most weekend nights I can be found spending time with friends, either at a local bar, a great restaurant, a movie, or a concert. I'm also a big Atlanta sports fan (Braves and Falcons...even I can't get excited about the Hawks), so I would love somebody to watch games with. I'm also open to cheering for other teams (as long as they are not the Saints). I am looking for somebody kind and genuine who would love to explore the city with me and who enjoys a great conversation over coffee or drinks.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish

I love a good cocktail bar like Little Branch, but I am still looking for my go to spots in the city - anywhere where I can get to know the bartenders is a plus. If you h ave any ideas let me know!

About the ManufacturerJust south of the nation's furniture capital, High Point, North Carolina, a small rocky stream meanders through the quiet, rolling countryside. It flows by old farmsteads and new neighborhoods, dead gold mines and living forests, eventually becoming the Uwharrie River (pronounced you-WAH-ree). Ultimately, the water reaches the Uwharrie Mountains, a small range occupied centuries ago by Native Americans DeSoto called the Suala. The name "Uwharrie'' is attributed to them, a conclusion supported by references in John Lawson's 1701 journal documenting a visit to "Heighwarrie".
Today the Uwharrie Mountains and Uwharrie National Forest are known for their abundance of wildlife, deep recreational lakes, and peaceful, natural beauty. The name is synonymous with rustic charm and relaxation, perhaps the best description of the Original Uwharrie Chair.
A number of environmental objections plague most outdoor furniture products. Tropical lumber harvesting devastates rainforests, old growth deforestation threatens endangered species, and plastics disposal harms the environment. Whether or not these alarms are overstated, the concerns behind them are valid. Uwharrie Chair Company offers a simple alternative to imported teak, painted metal or hardwood, and molded plastic: pressure treated pine.
The wood of choice for ski lodge decks, marina docks, and landscape walks, treated lumber offers distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect and rot resistant, it may be stained or painted (or left natural), and it's milled from a renewable resource: plantation grown southern pine. Uwharrie Chair Company uses heavy, one inch thick premium grade lumber kiln dried after it has been treated. Paints used to coat Uwharrie Chair products are latex enamel.
The Original Uwharrie Chair was created to offer not only eco-friendly all-weather seating, but classically styled, comfortably designed outdoor accents. With their rugged good looks and solid construction, the chairs and their companion pieces provide a balance of aesthetic charm and lifestyle integrity.

There's always a chance that some songs will sound a bit off if they're only played once in awhile. Overall this will be better for their live sound. When was the last time you heard Rush or Megadeth sound off at all musically live? I never have before, so there are positives to doing this.
No. The European tour was the way it was because of Mangini.
They actually said they would be going back to their old format after that. This is a complete change of mind.
And there's no excuse for it either. Look at bands like The Black Crowes and Gov't Mule. Every night their set is completey different, and they never sound unprepared or unprofessional. There's actually no excuse for ANY band with a substantial back catalogue not to change their setlists up.
And are you implying that Megadeth aren't hit-and-miss when they play live? They never change their setlist and they still have nights where they suck.

Migrated from http://serverfault.com/questions/615129/sql-2008-server-performance-loss-possibly-connected-with-a-very-large-table
We have SQL Server 2008 with 3 active databases running on it.
- DB1 - cca 400 MB size
- DB2 - cca 8 GB size
- DB3 - cca 42 GB size - but the majority of records are not used at all
In DB2 we have a this table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PenData](
[IndicatorID] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[Time] [datetime2](0) NOT NULL,
[Value] [real] NULL,
[ValueMax] [real] NULL,
[ValueMin] [real] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Data] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[IndicatorID] ASC,
[Time] ASC
This table by itsel occupies cca 8 GB and has 283 029 812 records. Vast majority of records in this table are historical records and are accessed very seldom or never. But a small part of recent records is used quite a lot and every hour many new records are getting inserted in this table.
The problem is that we recently observe performance problems in DB3. Though performance of DB2 and PenData is OK.
My question is:
1.could the size of the table PenData be important factor for the overall server performance? How do these many unused table records affect memory allocated by the server?
2.Could I get significant performance gain on the server (in DB3) if I delete half of the records from the very large table PenData?
3.And are there any tools to monitor performance when I do not have permissions to access Activity monitor?
I was quite terrified to see (using scripts provided in the answers) that the PenData table took 60-70% of whole SQL Server memory (which is relatively low cca 6 GB). I am not sure why, since this is the application I have programmed myself and I do not see any reason, why should so many rows from this table remain cached in memory. It had also been my mistake to run SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PenData before I had tried to see, how much of PenData remained cached in memory.
I have omitted one foreign key I have in this table, so I present it here:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[PenData] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Data_Indicator] FOREIGN KEY([IndicatorID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Indicator] ([IndicatorID])
I have deleted milions of records in batches of 100 000 records using SET RECORDCOUNT 100000 from PenData. Now it has 211 120 425 records. I have run DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (PenData, 20) - only after this has the memory consumption by PenData decreased significantly.
The performance and memory consumption by other databases got better.
But after one day the table PenData occupies again almost all the memory...
I have changed one single SQL command in one single stored procedure and now everything is perfect, database SupervisionP takes only 184 MB in cache! See detail here
Index seek much slower with OR condition compared with separate SELECTs
Thanks for your help.

Wood Frames
Item Made By
Gwyneth George
Gwyneth George
Picture of a completed item by Gwyneth George
I took one of the wooden frames from this kit, together with the letters D and A from kit cup294246_796 into one of my graphics package and played around with the layout until I had a card front topper that I wanted. I also copied the frame and letters to make extra layers. The finished design was then printed out and then cut out. I made a base A5 card using brown Adorable Scorable cardstock and onto this stuck a panel of bronze vellum, making sure that the fingerlift tape was not towards the edges but rather under the centre which would be covered. I then stuck my base toper layer on top of this. I finished the card off by sticking the extra layers of frame and letters in place using glue gel. I love these frames. There's a lot of variety within the pack, so could be used for many different styles of cards.

The San Francisco 49ers are 2-and-0 this season and heading to Minnesoat for Sunday's game against the Vikings at the Metrodome. The 1-and-1 Vikings are looking at this as a chance to show the rest of the league that they are ready to rise from the bottom of the NFC North Division. San Francisco has a pair of impressive wins so far this season, both against NFC North contenders Green Bay and Detroit. A Vikings win would signal that Minnesota just might be narrowing the gap on those other divisional foes. Minnesota's Christian Ponder has a 110.6 QB-rating through two games. Kickoff is set for noon on Sunday.

Why is Eight Below rated PG?
Official MPAA Rating: Eight Below is rated PG for for some peril and brief mild language.
Please read our content details for this movie to help determine if it is suitable for members of your family. We also encourage you to check our full review and our movie information page.
Dogs in peril are what your kids will remember most about this film. The pups are left to fend for themselves over the winter, and their initial situation has them tied to a post and unable to escape.

Prime Rib
Cooked a sixteen pound prime rib night before last. Forgot to take pics.
Turned out great. Started a fire in the oven about eleven pm the night before. Medium sized fire....(say seven pieces of oak eighteen inches long by four inches in diameter). Let it burn for about twenty minutes and then pushed it to the back of the oven. Went to bed about midnight with the fire burning brightly and the entry completely open.
Before going to work the following morning (approx eight thirty a.m.) I put the door on the oven. Because it had been open all night long, the surface temp of the bricks had dropped to 320. I came back to the house around ten-thirty a.m. and the oven interior had jumped back up to 370 from heat stored in the masonry migrating back to the surface. I cleaned out the ash, and damp mopped the masonry. Went back to the office.
At 5:30 pm I put the sixteen pound prime rib in the oven. (Technically speaking, it was a a whole rib-eye roast, rather than a prime rib or standing rib roast because the bones had been removed.) Pulled the roast from the oven at approx 7:30. Internal temp of the meat was my usual temp of 126. Covered with aluminum foil and a dish towell and let rest for thirty minutes.
Came out fantastic.
Re: Prime Rib
Do you know the temp of the oven when you put the meat in at 5:30 and would you also like to share your rub recipe?
Final internal temp of 126 seems a little low is that a typo?
What was the rib roast contained in? on a grate, in a roaster? on a flat pan? covered during cook or uncovered?
Re: Prime Rib
The oven temp was about 325-330 when the roast went in.
Temp of 126 is not a typo. Although this is my first prime rib in my pizza oven, I've cooked (on average) five prime ribs a year for the past fifteen years. I've done all of the various ways you'll see suggested...start at 400 for fifteen minutes then reduce to 275...or cook the whole time at 200 degrees....etc. About ten years ago I finally decided the one I find that works best and most reliablly for me is to simply but it in at 325 and pull it when the internal temp (at the deepest part of the meat) is 125-127.
The internal temp will continue to rise after being pulled from the oven as the roast is resting. I always let my roast sit for at least 20 minutes and sometimes up to forty. So long as you cover with foil and a dish towel it's still plenty hot inside. By the time I carve the roast, the internal temp is significantly higher than 126. Probablly ten degrees higher. Pulling the roast at that temp will result in meat which is medium rare in the middle 50%, with the 25% on each end being medium to medium well. The end cuts are well done. It really is idiot proof and perfect every time if you do it that way.
I've seen those recipies on line telling people to pull the roast when the temp is 135 or even higher. That is complete b.s. If you cook a roast to that temp before pulling from the oven I guarantee that the roast will be extremely well done. Obviously, if you are cooking the roast at a temp significantly below 325 you need to take into account that the temp rise during the resting period will not be as significant because there is less residual heat trapped in the outer layers of the roast.
I normally cook in a large roasting pan. This weekend I used a disposable foil roasting pan for the first time. Worked fine. Because the bones had been removed from this roast there was no "rack" for it to stand on so that air can circulate around the roast. So I had the choice to either use a metal roasting rack or to simply cut a large onion in thirds and place them under the roast where the bones used to be. I used the onion. This sort of props up the roast in the same way a rack would. And the onion adds good flavor to the drippings for the Au Jus. By using the disposable pan and no roasting rack there were no pans for my wife to wash. (I'm a giver ).
As far as rubs, I've done everything from mustard paste rubs to rock salt over the years...now I just slather a little Kitchen Boquet over the roast and then rub a bit of montreal steak seasoning all over (say a third of a cup for a whole prime rib). Montreal seasoning is primarily salt, pepper, and dried garlic bits. That's exactly what I want on my roasts so it works perfectly IMO. All those other fancy rubs are good, but when I do a prime rib I'm using a very good cut of meat that I have usually aged myself for three weeks or so. The meat is killer with the rub and the au jus made from the drippings. Anything beyond that just hides the flavor of the meat in my opinion.
Cooked uncovered. And in thinking about the timing...it was proabablly closer to eight when the roast came out. (We were playing poker so I was shooting for a later dinner.)
Anyway, it came out great in the wood fired oven and friends got a kick out of the novelty of it.

Re: Prime Rib
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have always wanted to do one but have been scared off by the huge cost of making a $150 piece of shoe leather.
I will bite the bullet sometime this spring when the weather warms up.
Re: Prime Rib
As far as the piece of meat...I usually buy at Costco. Their price for choice grade standing rib roast (i.e. prime rib) is usually right around 6.50 per pound. So a whole fifteen pound prime rib is usually right around a hundred dollars there. The "rib" on a cow is one of the eight primal (main) cuts. A whole standing rib roast is ribs 6-12. The smaller end of the roast is generally a bit more tender so if you are buying less than a whole rib, buy the smaller end if possible.
I started aging beef about ten years ago after having eaten aged beef at a Mastros steak house. It makes a huge difference and is worth doing. I started doing prime ribs for my yearly christmas party fifteen years ago. A year or two after I had started aging the prime rib, we had the guest list for the party jump from approximately eighteen people to well over twenty. This happened over the course of the last two days before the party. It became obvious that I had to buy a second prime rib in order to feed everyone. So I had one prime rib that had been aging for approximately three weeks. Then on the day before the party I went and bought a second prime rib. Same grade...same size...same costco....same price. A real "apples to apples" comparison. The only difference between the two was that one had been aged three weeks and the other had not been aged at all. The difference between the two roasts was unbelievable. The aged one was dramatically more tender and much more flavorful. That's the only time I have done such a comparison and it really was eye-opening.
To dry-age a prime rib it works best if you have a separate refrigerator that is not opened very often. We have one in our garage in which we keep wine, soft drink cans, etc. Stuff that ads no humidity to the fridge. The meat goes on a rack that allows air flow to go all around the roast. It needs to be dry to avoid spoilage. Anything over a week starts giving significant benefit.

Re: Prime Rib
Buy a whole ribeye, new york strip, or prime rib.
Take it out of the cryovack packaging. Dry it off with paper towels. Place it on a rack so that airflow can get all around. (I use a muffin cooling rack which is placed in a shallow pan.) Temp at 35-38. Check it every couple of days. It will start getting dark red and crusty looking after about four to five days. (Imagine how a hamburger would look if you left it uncovered in the fridge for a couple days.) It should be dry. Completely dry with no funky odors. Let it go ten days or so your first time. Trim off the outer sixteenth of an inch of the crusty stuff. Get most of it. Doesn't matter if you miss a bit. The main thing is that no portion of the meat's surface is wet after the first day. By day five the surface will be as dry as a desert. After three weeks, the eintre roast will have lost better than 10% of its weight in water. When you cut a steak off, the meat will be much less moist than a steak you'd get in the supermarket.
You can not age individual steaks. Anything much smaller than half a prime rib doesn't age very well. And even at that, if I am only aging half a rib, I won't let it go much over one week.
Some restaurants/meat cutters will age up to six weeks but they have drying rooms which have precisely controlled humidity. I don't. I generally won't do more than three and a half weeks. Check every couple of days, smell it. Make sure it is dry.
After ten days to three weeks, treat as normal. If it's a new york strip, cut 1.5 inch steaks. If it's a prime rib, roast it, or cut bone-in rib-eye steaks.

Ex-CIA vet: America not serious about stopping terrorism
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday
Michael Scheuer served in the CIA for 26 years.
From 1996 to 1999, he served as the chief of the unit tracking Osama bin Laden. He then worked as special adviser to the chief of the bin Laden unit from September 2001 to November 2004.
Scheuerâs new book, Marching Toward Hell: American and Islam After Iraq, essentially says that Americaâs leaders, Republican and Democratic alike, arenât serious in trying to quell terrorism aimed at Americans.
WMNF spoke with Michael Scheuer recently. We began by asking if the U.S. were to find and either apprehend or kill Osama Bin Ladin today, what effect would that have on Al-Queda and its copy cats?
Weâll hear more Scheuer from later in the week.comments powered by Disqus
