First Class Touring
River Cruising
Vacation Packages
Check into your hotel. In the afternoon, you may want to start exploring the lively British capital. Uniformed hosts are available to help you make the most of your stay.
A full day to savor our rich program of optional activities: take a panoramic tour of London's landmarks, visit the Tower of London, or choose an excursion to Windsor Castle. Tonight, maybe a leisurely cruise on the Thames River? (Breakfast)
Board the EUROSTAR TRAIN to Paris. Here, you'll be met by your Tour Director and luxury coach. Overnight in Paris. (Breakfast)
Paris is a world-class city that probably has more familiar landmarks than almost any other city in the world. This morning, see them during the included city tour. View the famous Arc de Triomphe, Opéra, Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysées, and much more with a Local Guide. In the afternoon, you can continue your visit on your own or you could join an optional excursion. This evening, why not join an optional welcome dinner? (Breakfast)
Fascinating, ever-changing scenery greets you today. Views of Fontainebleau Forest, the wine-growing area of Burgundy, then prosperous farms and tidy half-timbered villages as you head through the Alpine heart of Switzerland to the picture-book Lucerne area. (Breakfast, Dinner)
One of Switzerland's finest cities, Lucerne is nestled amid its snowcapped Alps, surrounded by its lake, and graced by the clear mountain waters of the Reuss River. The orientation includes the LION MONUMENT, erected in memory of the 800 Swiss Guards who defended Louis XVI and his wife. See also the famous wooden CHAPEL BRIDGE. A grand selection of optional activities completes the day: a cable-car ride to the 10,000-foot summit of Mount Titlis; a cruise on the fjord-like lake; and, of course, time to shop for that very Swiss watch. (Breakfast)
More wonderful Alpine scenery as you drive into the mountain ranges that surround the massive St. Gotthard. Once through its great tunnel, you'll start your scenic descent into the warmer and sunnier ambiance of Canton Ticino. Stop in beautiful Lugano and take a stroll along the lakeside promenade. Later, cross into Italy and drive through the Lombardy plains to Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, also known as "Little Rome" for its splendid amphitheater still standing in its former glory. Overnight in the Venice area. (Breakfast)
Venice is more like a marvelous film set than a real-life city, with criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water buses, arched bridges, palaces, and busy little piazzas. The orientation starts with a BOAT RIDE to St. Mark's Square and is followed by a chance to watch Venetian GLASSBLOWERS fashion their delicate objects as they did centuries ago. Don't miss out on the optional gondola trip, gliding along the picturesque canals with a local troubadour to serenade you. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Start the day by journeying south across the Apennines into the gentle and hilly countryside of Tuscany. Then, to Florence for an included walking tour with a Local Guide. Overnight in Montecatini. (Breakfast, Dinner)
This morning, stop in Pisa to see the famed SQUARE OF MIRACLES and to view the Leaning Tower. Then, journey south to Rome. Tonight, an optional evening drive through the city—a floodlit spectacular of shimmering fountains, magnificent churches, and piazzas—followed by dinner. (Breakfast)
Today's sightseeing with a Local Guide features St. Peter's Square, and includes an inside visit of the COLOSSEUM and the ROMAN FORUM. (Breakfast)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (Breakfast)

Creating a new topic to create a new central focus. Don't judge me.
SO. The first episode of the new FMA series was officially released in English today. How about some thoughts?
I love the intro. I can't seem to get enough of it. I've probably played it back way too many times (probably to get Ready Steady Go out of my head, but anyways). The episode itself was alright for an introduction episode. Since I have the basics down from the last anime, I didn't have much of a clear head as to whether this was a good beginning or not. I did like the episode itself, even if it falls into some of the climax traps anime/drama usually carries. The scene with Kimbly doesn't seem like it will pay off much. Some things felt like they went over too fast (the introduction to Hughes and his invitation to the Elrics to live at his house, most notably). The 'short' joke was played way too frequently in a short set of time, but these are all my gripes.
I'm liking the art direction. The colors feel right this time (Edward's hair doesn't look golden any more, instead it looks more like a natural shade of blonde). The animation is pretty fluid, and the fight scene felt unique in that it wasn't overly dramatic (at least, not outside expectations). The dialogue seems about right; a little rough, but better than most anime series out there. I'm going to have to save most of my judgment for the middle of the series, however. The story in the first kicked up about that time, and I expect it all to pay off at about that time in the second. I am looking forward to it.
So, there's my stream of consciousness. Make what you will of it and post your own opinion.

Source(Added Pub. L. 111–207, § 3(a),July 27, 2010, 124 Stat. 2244.)
References in Text
The date of enactment of the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010, referred to in subsecs. (a)(1)(C), (3) and (i), is the date of enactment of Pub. L. 111–207, which was approved July 27, 2010.
Pub. L. 111–207, § 2,July 27, 2010, 124 Stat. 2243, provided that: "The Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) There are approximately 200 overnight ocean-going cruise vessels worldwide. The average ocean-going cruise vessel carries 2,000 passengers with a crew of 950 people.
"(2) In 2007 alone, approximately 12,000,000 passengers were projected to take a cruise worldwide.
"(3) Passengers on cruise vessels have an inadequate appreciation of their potential vulnerability to crime while on ocean voyages, and those who may be victimized lack the information they need to understand their legal rights or to know whom to contact for help in the immediate aftermath of the crime.
"(4) Sexual violence, the disappearance of passengers from vessels on the high seas, and other serious crimes have occurred during luxury cruises.
"(5) Over the last 5 years, sexual assault and physical assaults on cruise vessels were the leading crimes investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with regard to cruise vessel incidents.
"(6) These crimes at sea can involve attacks both by passengers and crewmembers on other passengers and crewmembers.
"(7) Except for United States flagged vessels, or foreign flagged vessels operating in an area subject to the direct jurisdiction of the United States, there are no Federal statutes or regulations that explicitly require cruise lines to report alleged crimes to United States Government officials.
"(8) It is not known precisely how often crimes occur on cruise vessels or exactly how many people have disappeared during ocean voyages because cruise line companies do not make comprehensive, crime-related data readily available to the public.
"(9) Obtaining reliable crime-related cruise data from governmental sources can be difficult, because multiple countries may be involved when a crime occurs on the high seas, including the flag country for the vessel, the country of citizenship of particular passengers, and any countries having special or maritime jurisdiction.
"(10) It can be difficult for professional crime investigators to immediately secure an alleged crime scene on a cruise vessel, recover evidence of an onboard offense, and identify or interview potential witnesses to the alleged crime.
"(11) Most cruise vessels that operate into and out of United States ports are registered under the laws of another country, and investigations and prosecutions of crimes against passengers and crewmembers may involve the laws and authorities of multiple nations.
"(12) The Department of Homeland Security has found it necessary to establish 500-yard security zones around cruise vessels to limit the risk of terrorist attack. Recently piracy has dramatically increased throughout the world.
"(13) To enhance the safety of cruise passengers, the owners of cruise vessels could upgrade, modernize, and retrofit the safety and security infrastructure on such vessels by installing peep holes in passenger room doors, installing security video cameras in targeted areas, limiting access to passenger rooms to select staff during specific times, and installing acoustic hailing and warning devices capable of communicating over distances."

As our resident cattle rancher and agriculture activist Ryan Goodman has discussed before, today's farmers are no strangers to social media, using hashtags like #agchat and #foodd to come together and share resources and collective knowledge.
The drought and heat spike that's overcome more than 60 percent of the United States and put farmers, their livestock and their crops in jeopardy has spawned the hashtag #drought12, and offered unique insight into the crisis, from the people at the heart of it.

Click here to listen to Claudia Jordan's announcement on the TJMS.
Claudia Jordan is no stranger to competition. In her younger years, the Rhode Island native held the title of Miss Rhode Island Teen USA in 1990 and represented Rhode Island at the Miss Teen USA pageant, and in 1997 she became the second African-American woman ever to win the Miss Rhode Island USA title. She took her good looks to one of America's longest running game shows, "The Price Is Right", as one of Barker's Beauties and held case number one as a model on the popular show "Deal or No Deal."
But Jordan got to show that she was beauty plus brains when she competed on the second season of "Celebrity Apprentice," choosing the NAPSAC Foundation as her charity. Although she heard Trump's infamous words, "You're fired", fairly early in the competition, she still succeeded by even making the show.

You can't be a princess or a fairy without a tiara and wand accessory to go with your outfit. Pick one of each from our large selection and your girl—or you—will have the prettiest costume. Whether it's for a Disney princess or a fairy with wings, a tiara and wand will make the look complete. A tiara can be the most sparkly part of a costume. Princess tiaras come in lots of different colors and styles, so there's always one to match the dress. They have faux gemstones and pearls, shiny sequins, and even organza and marabou trim. They range from whimsical to elegant, flashy to subtle. And, of course, there's one for each Disney princess, complete with a cameo on the front.

Wands are another nice touch for a princess. There's one to match each Disney Princess tiara and costume. There are plenty of other ones too, decorated with ribbons, bows, tinsel, sequins, and faux gems. Fairies need wands to do their magic, so make sure you get one for the costume. There are also tiaras for flapper girls and socialites. Flappers get lots of sequins and tall feather plumes. Socialites can wear rhinestones that will make them look like the wealthiest of the upper class. Either way, the tiara will make the costume look complete. Wands are not just for princesses. Harry Potter and his wizard friends need to carry wands, and we have several that look like real wood. Kings need scepters, and there are several regal ones that are suitable for royalty.

I just bought this a few weeks ago and love it. It's like a toned down version of Tobacco Vanille. From the sprayer, they actually both smell the same. But Eau de Baux is more incense-y.
Thread: L'Occitane Eau de Baux!!
Eau des Baux is, I'm not adding anything new here, an excellent fragrance. On my skin it turns more to smoky cypress than sweet vanilla, so many of you will envy me, although I'd actually prefer it the other way around, lol!
I was also impressed by the ultra-natural balanced black pepper of L'Occitan. Didn't try the Vetyver as I'm a bit fed up with vetivers, but reading as it isn't that much vetiver-prominent, I may give it a shot.
The Labdanum is also delicious!
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
I just bought this a few weeks ago and love it. It's like a toned down version of Tobacco Vanille. From the sprayer, they actually both smell the same. But Eau de Baux is more incense-y.
I love the first hour or so, then I start to loose interest as I like my incense cold, dry and ashy! The sweetness kinda ruins it for me in the end.
SOLOMON saith: There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, That all knowledge was but remembrance; so Solomon giveth his sentence, That all novelty is but oblivion.
Much too sweet and cloying for my tastes. Begins okay, become overwhelmingly one-noted by the end.
Am I crazy to feel the same drydown on this and DHI?
I thought I smell a bit of incense too but it's mostly vanilla for my nose. Sweet but not discouraging sweet...although I might have to agree with Merely, is very one-noted. But I love that note!
Don't know about sillage, but the longevity is SICK. 6 hours and a shower later, still feel it oozing on my skin.

Say hey!
It's hard to beat this one for the price.
You can get a 100ml bottle for less than $60
and it's on par with the best designers and even
some niche fragrances in terms of quality.
Longevity and projection are outstanding.
For me, the incense and woods do a nice job
of balancing out the sweetness of the vanilla.
It's also versatile enough to be worn year round IMO,
just not on the hottest of summer days. A great fragrance.
I just picked up a bottle. Between a fragrancenet sale and ebates cash back, I got 100ml (I guess that's the only size it comes in) for $28.16 shipped. Can't beat that! And it's really excellent stuff. Honestly, if this exact same juice were sold online in a very heavy and classy bottle, people wouldn't even hesitate to pay $150+ for it.
I think it's funny how quick people are to look for reasons to dismiss it since it's cheap, but if it were expensive, people would look for reasons to praise it.
I would rank EdB among the best of the affordables.

A bottle of EdB here is about 63$ I really want it but...when i see people getting ti for half the price! mrrrrr

I recommend spraying this on clothing to make the most out of the vanilla and incense
Currently lawyering and DJing in Tokyo. Still obsessed with smelling good

Baux is a funny one for me. I tested on skin and paper before I bought it and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop sniffing my hand and the card I'd had it on. I then bought it and actually went off it enough to sell.
The first morning I sprayed it on my dressing gown I ended up having to put it in the washing machine as it was making me feel a bit nauseous !
I really like the sweet vanilla dry down but the first two or three hours or so for me are not particularly nice and are a bit headache inducing. I see my girlfriends point about it being a medicinal smell, I also see why so many people love it, however.
I've never done any layering of fragrances but I imagine this might be a good one to work it because of the sweet vanilla that sits in the background for so long.
Thats a shame, my missus likes it. Rare to get a compliement from her. But i have noticed this is the one.
See id say id agree with you if you was talking about Rochas Man, I honestly dont get the hype.
Jaipur is a lot nicer than rochas man.
Not tried Jaipur. Rochas man was too sweet for me.
I do get the hype though, for Baux, it's just not for me (or the lady).
Big fan of L'Occitan by L'Occitane in the summer. Love that peppery Lavendar, very unique.
I'm a huge fan of Eau du Baux, but also Vetiver and L'Occitane. For the price, you can't go wrong. I also get above average longevity and projection.

Stogie Review
Never understood the near-uniform love around here for Baux. I don't dislike it, but it just seems a little pedestrian to me.
4 Voleurs was absolutely stunning, Vetyver is great, L'Occitane is nice, Baux leaves me lukewarm, and Verdon sucks.
Regardless, L'Occitane almost always put out fragrances that are worth more than their sticker price.
Baux still smells like a $100 fragrance, just not one that impresses me.
Baux is a projection beast for me, and it smells delicious. It is probably my favorite Cologne after DHI.
Still mesmerized by EdB. Every time I try it on it just works for me. Will buy it with the first ocassion.

Comments On Jul 23, 2015:i know excel rims are better than OEM and that these are listed to work on these. they will work, you will need to be cautious of how hard you HIT some times. i relaced my wheel and these immediately looked weaker. i had to ride anyway and did so, after a couple hours and several hard HITS i popped 5 spokes. if you can get the excel replacement spoke i would do so.

Comments On Sep 23, 2014:bought this kit when I was truing my wheels and happy I did! they have held up great so far, and I have ridden a lot of rough offroad terrain with them. couldn't be happier with how my wheel has held up thanks to these!

Comments On Apr 26, 2014:Good spokes
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 13, 2014:Better quality than the OEM spokes. I installed new rims front and rear using these spokes; they did not stretch or loosen after the first couple rides and did not need any adjustment for an entire season of riding. Can't beat that.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 23, 2013:These are the worst spoke nipples i've come across. The Nipple is a Flat Head screw type so you burr them and then they poke a hole in your rim strip then your tube. How can you expect me to torque down on a crappy flat head. others use an allen key for nice installation. Do no buy Pro Wheel ever. Done.

Comments On Jun 11, 2013:Way better than stock don't have any problems with stripping them. Come loose after every ride for first 3 or so rides but since then always tight. Definitely going to buy new rear ones soon since allot of stock ones are stripped.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 27, 2012:I noticed one of my spokes got a bit bent in the first few rides. Its most likely my fault since it was the first time i laced a wheel, but still disapointing.

Comments On Feb 02, 2011:I bought both front and rear spokes for my 05 YZ250 and laced them with my stock hubs and rims. They were noticeably thicker than stock. Didn't have any problems lacing them up. I would definitely buy these spokes again.
also... use anti-seize on the threads or you may not be able to adjust them when they stretch in a year or 2.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 24, 2008:These spokes are of the worst quality. The nipples would not thread on at all, only about three of them went on half way up the nipple. Besides that fact half the nipples were a different brand. These spokes were a waste of time!! About six of them got seized and had to cut them off. Make sure you thread them on and use antiseize on everyone before you assemble them on the rim. I had to order a new hub and used my stock spokes. Do not recommend bad quality machining.

Soul skill slot value: 2-3 SP (ceiling of 3 SP because of Orthos, Shvara, PoM, Lucia, floor of 2 SP thanks to witch/pixy dual wielder/etc.) Let's go with 2.5 SP
Set phase value: less for large files that can do lots of damage with one card, very valuable for files that depend on many units. Let's go with 1 SP.
Cost of activation/sacrificial grimoire/unit: 1 (miracle fruit/great spirit) or 2 (Oeste). Let's just go with 1.5 SP for round numbers.
a) Soul skill slot value is 2SP standard.
b) You need to distinguish between refundable and nonrefundable costs. Spirits cost 1 short term, 0 long term. miracle fruit costs 1 short and long term.
c) Your SP value on a set phase is totally arbitrary.

FDA sends letters to 5 genetic testing companies
It appears that the FDA sent letters to several different direct to consumer genetic testing companies. They are 23andme, Navigenics, DeCode, Illumina, and Knome, which provides whole genome sequencing. The FDA is claiming the tests must undergo approval as a medical device, but did not say anything about removing them from the market. The article also mentions that Pathway Genomics, the company producing the genetics tests that Walgreens considered selling in its stores, also received a letter.
Having recently received my 23andme results, I'm a little concerned by this statement:
Concern about the tests was also raised this week when 23andMe said that because of a laboratory mix-up, up to 96 customers might have received genetic information belonging to someone else.
I certainly hoped that they notified these customers of the potential error…

In conjunction with the burgeoning online education marketplace, Silicon Valley graduate, Udemy continues to expand. According to a recent announcement, however, they're not the only ones raking in the benefits. A few months back the company said its top earning instructors were making six-figures simply by teaching courses on the online education site. As it turns out, a good number of their peers are pulling in impressive numbers as well.
The company recently told GigaOm that a quarter of its approved instructors will close out the year with at least $10,000 in income from courses purchased on its site. According to the article, "The company declined to share the total number of instructors offering classes on Udemy but said the figure has climbed 300 percent in the last year. About 60 percent of all instructors on the site are "approved," meaning their courses meet a checklist of standards and can be searchable by students online. The site has attracted about 400,000 registered students, which is about a 520 percent increase from last year."
While the most profitable courses tend to fall in the technical realm (Microsoft Excel or Python), instructors teaching courses on topics like yoga and cooking can make their fare share as well. Photographer David Nightingale, for example, has made $31,000 in just four months with his "art of black and white photography" course, suggesting that if a Udemy course is made well, it can attract a large audience.

A house fire is to blame for blocking off Ascauga Lake Road in Aiken County Saturday night.
The owner of the house showed up on his bike as firefighters chopped holes in the roof to let out some of the smoke and heat.
This is the same house police raided late last year. At the time they believed the owner had ties to the triple shooting at Huddle House in North Augusta.
An officer on the scene tells us this isn't the first time they've responded to a fire at this house.
"It started in the attic, and went down through the garage some, but not far. And the rest of the house has heat and fire damage," says assistant fire chief Cecil Scott.
Chief Scott says that fire damage is mostly contained to the inside of the house.
Firefighters say it was an electrical fire caused by a short in an extension cord. They also say no one was hurt.

Mon, Jun 25th 2012No friggin way!
No shows scheduled at this time.
Web Sites:
What do I do for a living? I design websites. After working as a web designer for a computer distributor
in the Silicon Valley, a venture capitalist in San Francisco and
an e-commerce company in Pleasanton, I decided to become an independent
consultant. I now work on a one-to-one basis with my clients where I design, build, and maintain their websites. Some clients need an entire site built from
scratch, while others simply need a graphic overhaul. A client may even need a database built with
coding to present hundreds of items of inventory. Search engine optimization is another popular element I work on.
Both my BA and MA are in English. Thus, while I can assist companies with developing content, it's completely up to them. My feelings are never hurt if clients choose to write their own marketing material.
If you're curious to find out more, please contact
me. I'm always ready to roll.

A woman from Washington state has been charged with stalking singer Clay Aiken at his home in North Carolina.
The Chatham County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Thursday that 57-year-old Barbara Jean Saylor of Kirkland, Wash., was charged with trespassing and misdemeanor stalking.
Deputies responded to a call from Aiken's home on April 3. They were told a woman had scaled a security fence and entered Aiken's property.
Authorities say she was ordered to leave when she was seen looking through the windows of the home. They say the woman left after being told that law enforcement was notified.
Saylor was released on $5,000 bond. It wasn't clear if she has an attorney.

(Sheboygan Press) -- Three Sheboygan residents involved in a sexual threesome were charged last week for a combination of drug offenses and battery after one of them allegedly went after the other two with a chainsaw.
Gerald R. Andrews, 44, 3723 Saemann Ave., faces more than 6½ years in prison on felony counts of manufacture/deliver marijuana, and maintaining a drug trafficking place, and misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana, battery, criminal damage to property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
His wife, Jessica L. Andrews, 46, 3723 Saemann Ave., faces more than two years in prison on a felony charge of maintaining a drug trafficking place and misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Christopher R. Netzer, 31, 2621 Riverdale Ave., faces more than 4½ years in prison on felony counts of manufacture/deliver marijuana and possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
According to the criminal complaint:
Sheboygan Police officers were called to the Andrews' home about 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 on a report of a man wielding a chainsaw and acting crazy. At the house, officers saw Gerald Andrews had a gash in the center of his forehead, his arms were covered with blood and there was glass and blood on the floor.
He told authorities he caught his wife with her "boyfriend," Netzer, and attacked him.
Jessica Andrews told police that the three of them had been involved in a sexual threesome for quite some time. She said she asked Netzer to come back to the house after seeing him and her husband fighting, and then she and Netzer barricaded themselves inside a bedroom when Gerald Andrews got angry.
She heard him start up a chainsaw, and Netzer escaped out a bathroom window.
One officer, while checking the basement to make sure no one else was hiding, found an elaborate grow-room in the basement set up with lights, filters and 16 marijuana plants that were 5 feet tall.
Jessica Andrews told officers she had nothing to do with the marijuana operation.

IT LOOKS JUST LIKE a REAL MOVIE: IT "STARS" 3-TIME OSCAR® NOMINEE SIGOURNEY WEAVER and PREVIOUS RAZZIE® "WINNER" BRUCE WILLIS. IT's SET in EUROPE and FEATURES GUN-PLAY, CAR-and-CYCLE CHASE SCENES, and ALL ther ELEMENTS of...WELL, a BOURNE SEQUEL.
BUT LOOK a LITTLE CLOSER and YOU'LL DISCOVER IT WAS "PRE-RELEASED" ALL OVER the WORLD by SUMMIT "ENTERTAINMENT" (the COMPANY BEHIND the TWILIGHT MOVIES) WAY BEFORE ITS OPENING HERE. YOU'LL SEE THAT CRIX at ROTTEN TOMATOES ARE GOING ABOUT NINE-to-ONE NEGATIVE with THEIR REVIEWS. AND EVENTUALLY, YOU'LL GET a WHIFF of the UNMISTABLE STENCH of ROTTING TURKEY MEAT.
WANNA KNOW MORE? HERE's the LINK for ADDITIONAL INFO (IMDb LISTING, REVIEWS, and CETERA) on COLD LIGHT of DAY...
...HERE's the LINK to CHECK OUT Ye Olde Head RAZZberry's FOTO FUNNY for THIS FILM...
AND BELOW IS WHERE to EXPERIENCE the "THRILL" of EXPRESSING JUST HOW BERRY NOT-THRILLED YOU WERE by THIS SO-CALLED "THRILLER"...

I thought Sigourney was amazing in the recent cable "limited series event" Political Animals (LINK). Which makes seeing her pop up in this pile of tripe all the more distressing.
Maybe doing crap like this makes it possible for her to hold out for things like that miniseries? If so, it's almost worth the trade-off to get the truly quality TV stuff...almost.

Willis seems to be hit-and-miss with his choices lately -- he does two or three crummy projects (Expendables 2, anyone?) for every fun/good movie (3 of the 4 Die Hard movies are great popcorn entertainment). Weaver, however, seems to be on a losing streak. Other than the TV series mentioned above (which I will now try to see) her recent projects, lest we forget, include a prominent role in Taylor Lautner's hideous Abduction (for which I think she should have been a Worst Supporting Actress Razzie nominee).
What's wrong with Hollywood that they keep on casting 60 year olds as "action heroes," but can't find suitable projects for talented women once they pass 40??

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: There is one exception to that "talented women over 40" rule -- But only one -- Meryl Streep.
I, too, was impressed with Weaver's work in POLITICAL ANIMALS (which was also, in addition to being terrifically acted, brilliantly written) and am puzzled why someone capable of being as compelling as Sigourney is clearly capable of being keeps winding up in crap like this and ABDUCTION...
Theories, anyone??

Considering the mentioning of Sigourney Weaver, I assume being on the ballots for Worst Supporting Actress this year is inevitable.
I need to ask, why no mention of Henry Cavill? He is technically the main star of this movie, AND he is soon going to be the new Superman. Granted, he's not a true notable name yet, but he should atleast be recognized for the time being.
And, yeah, I consider Bruce a definite lock for a Worst Supporting Actor nomination for this and Expendables 2. Looper is also possible, but it depends on how well the movie is received and such.
Please finally nominate Robert De Niro for Worst Actor.

I did offer a theory in my posting above -- Namely that Weaver does garbage like Abduction and this stupid movie (both of which I bet paid her pretty well!) so she can afford to take a role like the one she did so well with on USA cable.
Glad to hear Head Razz also liked Political Animals and, the more I think about it, the more I am accepting of Sigourney doing B.S. movies so she can do great TV. It's an unfortunate trade-off, but if it results in stuff as good as that miniseries, it may be worth it...

Japan is one of the few countries outside the US where this has also not yet played -- IMDb sez it's due to open here in October. But I also noticed that the IMDb User Rating on this (with over 5,200 votes) is below 5 (on a scale of 1-to-10) so its Razzie prospects look promising.
Just from looking at stills from this movie on various sites around the Net, it looks to me like we should be discussing Cavill as a potential Worst Actor contender for this -- He looks like the kind of empty-headed hunk we perpetually nominate in that category. Since MAN OF STEEL is apparently not due out 'till 2013, he could maybe get back-to-back Worst Actor nods!

Just watched it.
It starts out nicely with the main character Will arriving at an airport in Spain and being picked up by his old man. He gets a concerning phone call. His dad puts on an angry face, and you can sense immediately the tension between them. The family, including the brother and his girlfriend, is having dinner on their boat, but Will is stressed since his company went broke.
The next day the go on a boat trip, Will leaves the boat to step on land for a sec. When he comes back, the boat has vanished. He runs around panicking, asking people if they saw where the boat went, but noone understands him or saw anything.
So far the movie was on the right track, but went downhill from there.
I would like to express my concern about the next Superman movie. Maybe I just enjoyed Christopher Reeve's Superman too much. I wasn't impressed with Cavill's performance in Immortals, and this is the second time where I feel his performance is too soft. You really get to see his acting skills, and while clean portrayed, it's doesn't come across as really badass. It's not terrible or laughable, it just has no impact.
Secondly, what's with the camera and the editing?? I swear, the left and right shaking while the camera man is walking pulls you right out of the film. So does the editing, at one point it looks like exactly the same take of Cavill is shown twice. What the...?
Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis. Always.the.same.
I don't know if the movie would make it into my bottom five though. Have to think about it.

Jeremy Jahns and me bring up simular points for a reason. The Superman question and the camera thing really stand out in the worst way, the whole story is on a down path after the family vanishes.
Those who haven't seen it but want to compare, the movie is basically Abduction with chasing after a briefcase instead of a phone.
Vits, I had to think about it. I didn't hate the acting. Weaver and Willis present themselves no different than they always have. I can't say they annoyed the sh*t out of me like Nick Swardson or Sofia Vergara in supporting roles. Even Cavill, it's more of a completely forgettable thing.
In my opinion what really deserves punishment is the screenplay. A mess like that including idiotic characters should never make it on screen. So, FYC: Worst Screenplay for John Petro and Scott Wiper.

I still have the Forum User's RAZZIE Race Repository next to the 2012 releases discussion.
Have we decided whether The Words will be a Bonus Worst New Movie of the Weak yet?
Anyways, The Cold Light of Day probably deserves 1 nomination, not in an acting category. The main stars of this film haven't starred in any other RAZZIE contenders except The Expendables 2.

The Air Force Academy says another male cadet has been charged with aggravated sexual assault.
The school announced the charge Thursday but didn't identify the cadet or release any other details. A school spokesman didn't immediately return a call seeking more information.
At least six cadets, all males, have been charged with sexual misconduct in the past 13 months. Charges against one were dismissed and one was convicted. A third was in a hearing Thursday to determine whether he should face a court-martial.
The status of two others was not immediately known.
The next step in the latest case will be a hearing for an investigating officer to decide whether to recommend the cadet face a court-martial. The hearing hasn't been scheduled.

My husband and I decided to open a bottle of wine tonight with dinner and selected this one from our small collection. It was so amazing that I pulled up the vineyard online to see what was new. While clicking around I noticed that the bottle of wine we had just finished off in a few hours was available and there were no reviews so I felt the need to leave one! If I could afford the price of another bottle I would love to have purchased another one this evening! I have never left a wine review before, but I just had to leave one for this one. It was amazing!! Wish I had another!! LOL Looking forward to trying more wine from this vineyard in the future. Dave Fogel (Sep 1, 2014 at 4:33 PM) We got this wine as a birthday gift. Absolutely delicious. Complex, full bodied with a very smooth finish. We decanted it for 2 hours before drinking. Highly recommended. View Product Details »
