I think the roster lock dates are fine, I just wish people would keep it hush hush on their rosters and not tweet a different roster 3 times a week, that way there would be less drama and whatnot.
Black Ops Orlando F/A!
chrissperezz replied to chrissperezz's topic in Call of Duty SeriesI'll take note of your psn and try and run some scrims with you this week.
Missing classes for events. How do you deal w/it?
chrissperezz replied to chrissperezz's topic in Off-TopicYa I think I was just over concerned when I first posted this. I'll be fine. I thought I would be missing Thursday, Friday, and Monday but I should just be missing Friday and ill be tired on Monday. Can't wait till Orlando!
Black Ops Orlando F/A!
chrissperezz posted a topic in Call of Duty SeriesI'm a free agent for mlg Orlando to compete in black ops. I've been playing variant since the game dropped. I think I have a good shot of making it out of pool play. If anyone attending orlando wants to run some scrims and see if we should consider teaming then add chrissperezz on psn and put vVv in the friend request please. I just really starting to search for teammates and I'm looking at all my options. What better place to reach to than the vVv family?
TRuzTz F/A for Orlando Black Ops
chrissperezz replied to TRuzTz's topic in Call of Duty SeriesTRuzTz! Don't change your name! Lol
vVv BTH
chrissperezz replied to Shift's topic in Halo SeriesGreat job at Raleigh and cant wait to see you all at Orlando. Gotta shake all of your hands. vVvBTH: 2011 Halo Reach MLG National Champions Sounds about right to me
SteelSeries Launches Birthdays All Around Discount!
chrissperezz replied to vVv Doomhammer's topic in News & AnnouncementsI'm due for a LAN compatible headset. Going to need to get one before MLG Orlando anyways.
Cheap Transportation To/From Orlando!
chrissperezz posted a topic in MLG OrlandoFor anyone in the south Florida area, a number of people including myself will be taking a coach bus from Miami to Orlando, and the same for the way back. Personally I would like for everyone (if possible) that is going to leave Thursday night, and come back Sunday night. I understand some people will want to go earlier/leave later. But anyways, here's the info: 35$ each way, coach bus, 1 suitcase, 1 carry on, and a 5% discount if you buy your tickets as a round trip. I think this will be a fun little thing for the south floridians. If anyone has any questions just post them here and I'll do my best to try and get answers. Also if you're interested, please post here. I can't wait to see everyone at Orlando.
Finally it's playoffs, so the rosters we see at Orlando will be the same for providence/nationals. I'm not going to give my 2 cents on what's going on because too much is going on right now. So many rumors. I wish the cod community was a little more, mature, if that's the right way to describe it.
Missing classes for events. How do you deal w/it?
chrissperezz replied to chrissperezz's topic in Off-TopicThanks everyone, especially Cheese. Great feedback. I think I've worked it out (at least for Orlando) so I'll only be missing Friday. Things are looking good Now that I've had class for a couple weeks I can say I only have 2 classes to really be concerned with makeup work in, and theyre both math classes so I should be fine. I need to look up this redeye flight you mentioned, and I'm about to make another thread concerning transportation to/from Raleigh, some of you may be interested.
MLG Raleigh Teams, Orlando attendees?
chrissperezz replied to chrissperezz's topic in Call of Duty SeriesSorry haven't been on the site in a while. Trod, what's your psn? Mine's chrissperezz. We should run some scrims and see how things go. Oh and Polska, thanks for the support. It's amazing how supportive everyone in our community is.
MLG Raleigh Black ops
chrissperezz replied to MEGATR0NN-01's topic in Call of Duty SeriesI love to play cod competitively, but it's usually a bore to watch; unless there's some hype behind the match. And MW3 will have LAN support. I believe the community manager or whatever his title is tweeted it today o yesterday. It will basically be bops LAN system but improved from what I'm hearing.
Missing classes for events. How do you deal w/it?
chrissperezz posted a topic in Off-TopicI was just wondering how some of you guys go about your classes when you attend tournaments. One reason I'm passing on mlg Raleigh is the timing. My first week of my senior year of highschool just started and I couldn't miss class already. For mlg Orlando I really want to attend, but I'll most likely miss that Friday and following Monday. Do you guys feel that missing class like that is worth it/feasible? Im taking a few AP classes and I'm worried about falling behind.
capture card suggestions
chrissperezz replied to hallusenation's topic in TechnologyA friend linked me to http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/game-capture/console/overview.html a while ago. It's not as pricey as an HD PVR or BMI but apparently it's also not as high quality. Capture cards are something I think you should get at the worst or best form, and not to bother with the products that fall in the middle? What do you plan on doing with the capture card/what you cap? If you're just trying to record your matches for personal review/proof then a lower quality capture card like a dazzle should work, but if you want to upload high quality YouTube videos to share with others I'd go with the hd PVR or BMI.
How do I attract viewers to my stream?

Historically, Irish Poteen has been produced for over 300 years. It achieved notoriety when home production was made illegal during the reign of Oliver Cromwell, to coerce the Irish population to buy inferior Crown Whiskey which had high taxes, to pay for the English costs of its war against Ireland and its occupation. In 1997 the illegal status was removed by the Irish Government. In 2007 the EU conferred 'Geographical Indicative' protective status to Irish Poteen.
Colour - Clear.
Nose: Densely fruity, immediately attractive and appealing citrus zest mingles with summer fruit aromas. At various times melon, pear drops, grape fruit, raspberry and boiled sweets emerge.
Taste: With plenty of water this makes a refreshing long drink. Drunk neat, this exceptionally very high volume quadruple distilled Irish spirit naturally provides an overwhelming kick and is certainly not recommended to ever take it in this fashion! However, when substantially diluted with the usual range of mixers the complexity is overwhelming, as is the case, when used as a substitute cocktail spirit base. It is truly in a category of its own. See http://www.irish-poteen.com/consumer/cons_cocktails.html
Flavour: Warming and peppery, the initial shock subsides and a balanced fruitiness shows through. With water the middle taste is longer and reveals more fruit.
Finish: Long lingering and warming, with a dry and spicy tail.

I have IIS 6.0 and am using a ISAPI rewrite to do a special URL redirect.
Basically how this will function, anyone going to www.website1.com is redirected to www.website2.com which I have setup with the following lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^website1\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http\://www\.website2\.com [NC,R=301]
However, there are 2 URL's that I want exluded from the rewrite rule:
- www.website1.com\Mar\healthcheck.html
- www.website1.com\Mar\servname.html
What would I add to my current config for it to allow people through to those two URL's? Ideally it would just allow anyone going to www.website1.com\Mar\* through.

Ranked No. 1 heading into the postseason, the Franklin Community High School wrestling team took a bold first step in its bid for the IHSAA state championship.
The Grizzly Cubs, ranked 30th nationally, did so by dominating Saturday's Mooresville Sectional.
Franklin sent 13 of 14 wrestlers to next week's Mooresville Regional and crowned eight champions in successfully defending their its sectional title.
The Cubs tallied 284 points, nearly doubling second-place Martinsville's effort of 145.5 points. Center Grove was third (143.5) followed by Mooresville (136.5), Greenwood (120), Monrovia (84.7), Whiteland (80.5), Plainfield (68), Decatur Central (59) and Indian Creek (56).
Center Grove had eight regional qualifiers, and Greenwood — which featured the 145-pound champion in senior Bailey Schober — had five. Whiteland had four qualifiers, and Indian Creek had three.
Senior wrestler Michael Petrole, Franklin's champion at 182 pounds, said the year — in which the Cubs won the Team State Duals championship in December — keeps getting better, and the team grows more close-knit each day.
"It's been incredible, but to me we're all brothers and not teammates," Petrole said. "That's what it's like, and we're all there for each other. We kill each other in practice, and we cheer each other on during the matches."
Veteran Franklin coach Bob Hasseman chuckled at Petrole's remark and commended his team's effort, insisting the Cubs will have to continue to perform at an elevated level to have a chance at winning the regional.
"They are the brothers, and I'm the dad," Hasseman said. "Really, I'm pleased with our efforts. If someone fails then someone else picks it up.
"We're close like a family, and that's just great."
Besides Petrole's title, Franklin's other champions were senior D.J. Smith, the top-ranked wrestler at 113 pounds; sophomore Shane Wilkerson at 120; senior Skyler Lykins at 138; senior Matt Wyrick at 160; unbeaten junior Jacob Stevenson at 170; unbeaten senior Connor Tolley at 220; and sophomore Quinn York at 285.
Schober's title win for Greenwood was the most entertaining of the day, as he had to come from behind to beat the surprise of the tournament, Indian Creek's Elijah Dunn, 5-4 in overtime. Schober appeared to have the match won, 1-0 with 20 seconds left. But then Dunn came alive and reversed Schober to take a 2-1 lead.
Schober managed an escape at the buzzer to send the match into overtime.
From there, the two traded leads, with Dunn getting a takedown and Schober reversing it, and ultimately getting an escape to take the win. Earlier, Schober (34-1) avenged his only defeat of the year when he beat Franklin's Burk VanHorn in the semifinals, 5-2.
"That felt good to beat (VanHorn), but I didn't know a thing about Dunn," Schober said. "Nothing. I knew nothing of his game plan, how he wrestled or who he was. He was good, and now I know who he is, and I'll be more motivated than ever if we wrestle again down the line."
Dunn didn't wrestle at the Johnson County Tournament and didn't start competing until later in the season, which is why he wasn't ranked higher and might have been overlooked. Indian Creek coach Pat Dowty said the sophomore will only get better.
"I expected him to be a champion (today)," Dowty said. "Elijah's young, and if he had wrestled his match instead of Bailey's, he wins. He will learn from this. It's nice that he went under the radar, but now people will know who he is."
Although the Cubs are favored heading into the regional, hey won't take anything for granted, especially after last year when Danville came into the regional unheralded and took the championship from the Cubs, who were favorites at the time.
"We're going to be ready for this," Hasseman said. "It's going to get tougher up to state and we have to be prepared. As I said, we're a family, I'm the dad, they are the brothers and come Monday I'm going to whip them in practice."

Aang took Tarrlok's dad's bending away, so that's why Tarrlok is against Avatar Korra...?
I think Tarrlok was just trying to gain power by taking over the council, and that he was against Korra cuz she was getting in his way. I also like how it was Amon who came to Korra's rescue. How did he get there so quickly? I have a feeling the spirits are involved, with Tarrlock's special power and with Amon's.
And who has the bright idea to let the kid of an evil special bloodbender on the council that controls the capital of the avatar world?!

Very Important News
Update: Monday 09/24/14
If you
need something real important, please email me directly.
I am sorry to report, that I
have continued to be sick and have had a hard time trying to
catch up with everything! Right now I am trying to catch
up with a mess I have in paypal. And, I am going to have to
close the site down temporarily until all of this straightened
out. I sincerely apologize to all of you and I promise to
make it all up to you. I will continue to try to get your orders
out as promised just very late. I can't thank you enough for all
of your incredible patience and will try to work with you on a
one to one basis. Please bare with me just a little more
if you can, and I will get your orders out! I will make sure
everyone of you either get what your ordered or a refund.
Please give me
some time to respond, I have a huge backlog of emails and I'm
trying to catch up with that as well!
A new site will be
up soon with possible new management and possible new owner.
Thanks so much!
And God Bless!
We have been stating clearly at the top of the page not to place
orders on this
site for months now. Unfortunately some people either did not
read it or see this and
placed orders anyway.
The paypal account associated with this account has been in the
negative and we
were trying to pay it off little by little.
So what happens is, if someone places an order on the site.
Paypal automatically
takes that money from the account! So that means I never got the
money and
can't place those orders!
If you purchased something recently please ask paypal to cancel
your order
since we are no longer in business!
I have no way of getting that money you paid thru paypal to be
able to place any orders
that were placed.
At this point there is nothing I can do
about this, the only way to get your
money is to deal with paypal directly.
Let them know you need to cancel your order,
and that Mandejewelry.com is no longer in business!
An old partner is creating a new website and in the future you
will be able to
place orders on their new website.
If you still wish or need to place any orders, email me first
and I will put you in
contact with them right away!!
Their new website is
called NYCloseouts.com and will be opening soon!
Anyone that I owe orders to or money to I haven't forgotten, I'm
not a thief as
soon as I am able to, I will make things right with you!
I sincerely apologize for all of these inconveniences.

Neat, Design Your Own Maxi Pad
Kotex is running a new campaign called U by Kotex in which you're encouraged to design your own fashion pads, design your own fashion-pad-carrying tins, and create a virtual inspiration board from which to draw further inspiration for ever more fashionable maxi pads. I've posted mine to the left. It's really nice, no? Nope. But I entered it in their "Ban the Bland" design challenge, and if I win I'll get to design maxi pads with Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field. Feel free to enter, as there's no way anyone can beat me.
And here's Patricia in a loopy video that mentions nothing about making colorful fashion maxi pads but is, I believe, technically all about making colorful fashion maxi pads:
Are you, too, suddenly realizing how few peace signs tampons have on them?
Update: Oh nice, Cassie designed one, too.
[Thanks, Melissa!]

Drew Roy: Change in career choice pays off for "Falling Skies" actor
(A version of this story was published in the June 7, 2013 Weekend Look section of The Oklahoman.)
Acting wasn't the first career Drew Roy was interested in while growing up in Clanton, Ala.
But a group of musician friends moving to California influenced a decision that would change the "Falling Skies" star's life.
"When I turned 18, I was going to go to college. I always wanted to be a doctor. Then I had five buddies who were all in a band, and they decided they were going to move out to L.A. to play music," Roy said during a phone interview with The Oklahoman.
"And, I thought, you know what, I've never been on stage, and I've never been in front of a camera, but I feel like I could be an actor. (Laughter) And I went for it. Anybody who just read that, a really dumb decision. I'll just go ahead and say dumb. I've had a lot of luck, and a lot of hard work went into it, but, you know, I guess if you feel like trying something, I guess you would always regret it if you didn't. So, that's what I did."
The move paid off for Roy, 27, who has appeared in such projects as "Secretariat," "Hannah Montana" and "Lincoln Heights" before taking on the role of Hal Mason in "Falling Skies." The sci-fi drama will begin its third season with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday on TNT.
Roy's character is the oldest son of Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), who has been a leader in the 2nd Mass military resistance group fighting for survival against a devastating alien attack on Earth.
Hal's story line has taken a darker turn this season, which picks up seven months after the end of last season. He was infected with a bug by alien ally Karen (Jessy Schram) in the second season finale.
This infection resulted in Hal being paralyzed, but, through therapy, he's been able to recover except for the use of his legs.
This has also affected his relationship with love interest Maggie (Sarah Carter). Roy cites the trust the actors have with each other as a plus in portraying this aspect of their roles together, and the two often discuss talk over elements involving their characters.
"Our biggest talk this year was just how this paralysis was going to be with the two of us," Roy said. "She thought of a very interesting thing, that with Maggie's past being as dark as it is, that having a lover could be very difficult for her. So, the physical side of things has really been removed from their relationship, and they're almost like an old married couple, that she's having to help take care of him. That has actually slowed down how close they've been able to get on a physical level, and it's much deeper than that now. That was a very interesting thing to get to play and explore."
The actor has relished playing such a different side of his character.
"This season, with Hal struggling with the good and bad, it all culminates in the sixth hour of this third season," Roy said. "I definitely get to walk the line of being bad, and it was an absolute blast. They wrote several scenes that were just really deep and involved. A lot of family issues along with this bug that Karen has put in me. And it's definitely my favorite episode that I have filmed in this entire series and probably my most proud work that I've done in anything I've ever shot in my career."

... can this be a problem with the drug
Omeprazole - I have post prostate incontinence( 3 years) which seems worse when I take omerprozole.?
- Posted:

It is not a noted side effect of omeprazole but could be the case.
Genitourinary side effects of omeprazole have included impotence and rare reports of urinary tract infection, pyuria, urinary frequency, proteinuria, hematuria, glycosuria, and testicular pain.
just wondering did you say you had problems ppost enlarged prostrate prior to this (I may have not read this correctly) but if you have any prostrate problems I almost waited too late I would go and have to wait as much as an hour my prostrate was so enlarged I am not saying this is your problem but they can reduce the swelling of the prostrate with proper medications provided the doctor knows you have problems they are bothersome to you asap, regardless in order to be on the safe side discuss this effect that you have with the medication, I may be concerned and it may just be nothing but I would rather it be that than to not encourage you to talk with the doctor, you are different and what happens to one person does not always happen to the other I again wish you the very best
22 Jan 2011
please allow you doctor to know the effects you are having, inform him it seems worse when you use this other medication I just want to be sure you don't have other medical problems that have been overlooked, I know this isn't the direct fastest answer but then I want you to be safe and I am sure that everyone on this site wants the same thing I wish you the very best

2015The oldest of the baby-boomer generation is now over 65 years old and has arrived at the age when a "traditional" retirement would begin. Much has been written on the impact the baby-boomer generation has had on society and what retirement will look like for them going forward, but there hasn't been enough written on the topic of retirement income planning from a process point of view.
2015Retiring baby-boomers, who can expect to spend 30 to 40 years in retirement, will likely need a framework for converting their savings into a sustainable monthly income stream. Investors who are on the road of retirement all share some common fears including spending too much, principal loss from market volatility, loss of purchasing power due to inflation, and the biggest fear of all, running out of money.
2015Re-ordering the sequence of annual returns on an investment provides great insight for planning a retirement distribution strategy. While this would have no effect on an investment of a buy-and-hold investor, the effect on a retirement portfolio under the stress of systematic withdrawals can be quite dramatic.
2015Over the past eighty-seven years, dividends have accounted for over 40% of the total return for the S&P 500 Index. The importance of dividends has been an often overlooked part of investing, but will continue to come to the forefront as baby boomers prepare for retirement and look for high and growing income-generating investments.
2015Given the ongoing advances in medical research, a client considering a retirement plan should prepare for the possibility of a retirement that could last 30 or 40 years. Over this lengthy span of time, the steady erosion of purchasing power due to the effects of inflation should be of more concern to retirees than shorter-term market volatility.
2015Retirees and their advisors should thoughtfully establish a spending plan to balance the desire to maintain a consistent lifestyle with preserving assets for a retirement that could last 30 to 40 years. To achieve this balance, a spending policy should be developed to determine what percentage of the retirement savings will be spent initially and how this amount will change over time to reflect the effects of inflation and the performance of the underlying investment portfolio.
2015One of the challenges that confronts retirees and their advisors is how to prevent having to sell their hard earned retirement assets at the wrong time. We have all heard the age old investment adage "Buy Low and Sell High," which tells us to buy assets when they are out of favor but to time the disposition of the assets when the markets are in your favor.

Lateral Access Spine Surgery
In traditional
spinal surgery
, the spinal column is approached by the spinal surgeon from the posterior (back) or the anterior (front) sides. Recent technological advances now allow the spinal surgeon to approach certain parts of the spine directly from the side (lateral access). It is felt that this can be a significantly
less invasive
approach for the patient. Recent studies have demonstrated a faster recovery from surgery when this approach is used.

National parties spend big in RI race for Congress
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — National Republicans and Democrats on Friday committed big money to a last-minute TV ad blitz in Rhode Island, with Republicans making one of the largest ad buys of this election cycle in the state to support Brendan Doherty in an increasingly ugly race to unseat Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, and Democrats reacting hours later with news they'd run their own ads to respond.
Republicans see their best chance since the 1990s to win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from the heavily Democratic state.
Nat Sillin, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Friday morning the group spent $280,000 to purchase a week of TV time for ads in support of Doherty, the former head of the state police, who is making his first run for political office. Sillin said the ads are scheduled to air on broadcast stations in the final week of the campaign, from Tuesday until Nov. 6.
Doherty's political director, Rob Coupe, said the buy indicates national Republicans have confidence in the race.
"They wouldn't help us at all if they didn't think we had a very solid chance of winning," he said.
Later Friday, Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, confirmed the group was making its own TV buy to support Cicilline. He would not specify on the record how much they planned to spend, but said it would be competitive with Republicans.
"We won't let Washington Republicans' lies go unanswered and will continue to hold Brendan Doherty accountable for supporting the extreme Republican agenda," he said.
Registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans more than three-to-one in Rhode Island, but Doherty has gotten traction by repeatedly focusing on Cicilline's time as mayor of Providence, which he led for eight years before being elected to Congress in 2010. Doherty has called Cicilline a liar for saying the city was in excellent financial condition during the 2010 campaign. After Cicilline left office, the city announced a $110 million budget deficit. Cicilline has apologized for his word choice.
In recent days, the race has taken an ugly turn as Doherty reached back more than a decade to Cicilline's past as a lawyer. He put out a scathing TV attack ad showing a photo of Cicilline alongside the words "rapists, pedophiles and murderers" to criticize him for working to defend such criminals.
A Cicilline TV ad in response called the ad "outrageous" and sought to remind voters that Doherty would support a Republican leadership in Congress that has voted to "end Medicare as we know it." Doherty does not himself support a Republican-backed plan to hold down Medicare costs by instituting a voucher system, but Cicilline's campaign has argued that sending him to Washington would help advance the Congressional Republican agenda.
Cicilline campaign manager Eric Hyers said national Republicans' decision to put so much money into the race is a signal that Republican leaders want Doherty with them to strengthen their control of Congress. He called it a "red flag" to voters.
"Brendan Doherty is going to side with the Republicans and not Rhode Island families," Hyers said.
Doherty's campaign enters the final weeks of the race with more than twice as much money on hand as Cicilline's campaign. He had $328,000 as of Oct. 17, compared with Cicilline, whose campaign said he had $153,000, according to filings made with the Federal Elections Commission. Doherty has had a money edge since September, when Cicilline faced a bitter primary battle with fellow Democrat Anthony Gemma, a businessman who spent $400,000 of his own money to defeat Cicilline.
No Republican has won a race for a seat in the House from Rhode Island since 1992, when Rep. Ron Machtley was re-elected to serve a third term representing the 1st district. He ran a failed campaign for governor in 1994. Cicilline was elected in 2010 to succeed Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The 1st district runs from Woonsocket in the north, through parts of Providence and along the eastern part of the state into Newport.

Cyclone to Form Off Australia as Port Hedland Evacuates
A storm off Australia's northwest coast may develop into a cyclone today, prompting evacuation of Port Hedland, the world's biggest iron ore export terminal.
A tropical low northwest of Broome in Western Australia may strengthen into a category one storm as it moves southwest and roughly parallel to the coast, the Bureau of Meteorology said on its website. Evacuation of 29 vessels in Port Hedland's inner and outer anchorage areas commenced at 6 a.m. local time and evacuation of 12 ships in the inner harbor began at about noon, the Port Hedland Port Authority said in a statement. The final vessel is expected to leave the shipping channel by 3 a.m. tomorrow, it said.
"If the system continues to develop as expected a severe tropical cyclone impact on the Pilbara is likely on Monday or Tuesday," the weather bureau said.
Port Hedland exports iron ore from mines owned by BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. Rio Tinto Group ships ore from Dampier and Cape Lambert, which are also located in the region. Australia is the world's largest iron ore exporter.
BHP "continues to closely monitor the situation as the tropical low approaches the Pilbara coast," the company said in an e-mailed statement today. "Preparations to secure our port and rail infrastructure have commenced."
The storm is forecast to develop into a category one cyclone by 5 p.m. local time, according to the weather bureau, and strengthen into a category three storm by Dec. 30 before crossing the coast near the town of Karratha, 1,250 kilometers (780 miles) north of Perth.

Over the past half decade or so, Bradley Cooper has gone from an up and coming supporting player to one of Hollywood's biggest A-listers. Right now, he's a huge movie star, one who is a favorite of both Academy members as well as theater goers. With the release starting this week of his new star vehicle Burnt, I wanted to discuss that flick as well as his standing in the industry currently. Cooper is as big an A-list actor as anyone in the business, so I'm sure this won't be the last time we discuss him. If this new film does well, we may even be talking about him as an Oscar nominee once again.
The movie in question is a culinary drama starring Cooper as chef Adam Jones, who was once a rising star in the kitchen but flamed out, partially due to bad behavior and partially due to drug addiction. Newly clean, he sets out to dominate the food industry once again, starting by opening a restaurant in London that can gain the elusive rating of three Michelin stars. John Wells directs a script from Steven Knight (with story credit going to Michael Kalesniko as well), while the cast besides Cooper includes Daniel Brühl, Sarah Greene, Lily James, Sienna Miller, Matthew Rhys, Omar Sy, Emma Thompson, Uma Thurman, and Alicia Vikander. Of course, the star here is Cooper, with this a vehicle here for his charm and talents.
What gives me hope here is that Cooper has more or less been catnip for Oscar voters. He's been nominated three years running, with a total of four nominations to his credit. First up was his Best Actor citation for Silver Linings Playbook, with the year after being a Best Supporting Actor nod for American Hustle, while last year he got a pair of noms, one being for producing American Sniper while the other was in Best Actor for his performance in that flick. At this point, he's due for a win, so a classy star vehicle like this could potentially have him in the running once again.
In terms of awards, it could be one shot or nothing for Burnt. If it turns out that The Weinstein Company has a hit on their hands, which is possible, if not amazingly likely, they could try to campaign the film in Best Picture, Best Director (for Wells), Best Actor (for Cooper), Best Supporting Actor […]

Rooney Mara: Looking at potential Best Supporting Actress contenders
As you fine ladies and gentlemen must all know by now (since I've pretty much hammered it into your heads), it's one thing to read early Academy Award predictions in order to see what folks like myself think will happen this winter, but it's a whole separate thing to actually know something about who and what will be in contention. To help out in that particular regard, I'm continuing my yearly ritual of running down some of the major contenders in each Oscar category in order to prep you all for the season to come. Basically, the format will have me saying a few words about what or who I feel are the top tier contenders right now in said categories, along with a longer list afterwards of many of the other hopefuls that the Academy might potentially take a shine to. Consider this a sort of before the awards season cheat sheet to have in your back pocket.
Today I'm continuing on with another of the big acting categories…you guessed it, it's Best Supporting Actress time.
Here are the ten particular women that I have currently in play for Best Supporting Actress, with the top five cracking the unofficial lineup at this point:
1. Rooney Mara (Carol) *Could go Lead – I wrote a bit about Mara earlier this week when I got into the awards possibilities for Carol, but Mara is sitting in the lead here due to her Cannes Actress win. She could easily go Lead, but I have a feeling she'll wind up going Supporting so Cate Blanchett can contend in Lead. The silver lining? That will easily make her the early odds on favorite here, at least in my book. A lot can and will change, but right now, I have her in the pole position.
2. Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) – I've spent some time writing about the gentlemen of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming flick, but what about the notable lady of the cast? Just like Bruce Dern and Kurt Russell seem like they'll be in play for The Hateful Eight, so too will be Leigh, so is the favorite here to some. I obviously have her as the main runner up, but it's hard not to see her as a likely nominee at this point. Especially with the potentially light competition, she might have a surprisingly easy time scoring her first ever nomination.
3. Ellen Page (Freeheld) […]
Bradley Cooper will heat up the Oscar race in "Burnt"
By now, it seems like a perennial contender for Oscars is none other than Bradley Cooper. He's on quite the run of late, between his collaborations with David O. Russell, the stunning success that was American Sniper, and just being one of our most charismatic A-list stars. Later this year, he'll look to again appeal to Academy voters, not just with a supporting turn for Russell in Joy, but also in the culinary comedy/drama Burnt, which has taken a bit to develop. Cooper has helped shepherd it to the screen (it's now test screening, leading to some early reactions to his performance), and judging from the recent Trailer that dropped (which you can see at the end of the piece), this is going to be one intense flick. If things break the right way for it, you could also see it becoming another Oscar vehicle for Cooper.
The film is a look at the obsession that can go into being a chef. Adam Jones (Cooper), was once considered to be one of the best chefs in the world, but his fast rising career flamed out when he got lost in diva antics, drug addictions, and other such bad behavior. Now having cleaned himself up, he's determined to essay a rags to riches redemption story by taking a top level restaurant and making it even better, earning the elusive full level Michelin Star rating in the process. John Wells directs from a script by Steven Knight (with a story credit going to Michael Kalesniko), while the cast besides Cooper includes Daniel Brühl, Lily James, Sienna Miller, Omar Sy, Emma Thompson, Uma Thurman, Alicia Vikander, and more.
Without question, the big selling point here for Burnt is Cooper. He's become one of our bigger A-list stars over the last handful of years, so anything he chooses to make is of course noteworthy in and of itself, but this one seems especially worthy of our time. Not only is he again playing a chef after having done so briefly on television before he hit it big, he's utilizing his star power as the sole big star here. He's carried movies before, but perhaps never to this extent. The film could be an interesting test of his drawing power, not only at the box office but with awards season voters as well.
Awards wise, it could be Cooper or bust for this flick. That being said, if […]

21st annual Hollywood Vanity Fair cover by Annie Leibovitz
For the 21st annual Hollywood cover, Annie Leibovitz captured an intimate portrait of the year's most celebrated actors. The iconic three-panel foldout features 10 actors who had noteworthy performances over the past year: Amy Adams (Big Eyes), Channing Tatum (Foxcatcher), Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything), Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), David Oyelowo (Selma), Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Oscar Isaac (A Most Violent Year), and Miles Teller (Whiplash).
The men wear bespoke white-tie, while the women channel Old Hollywood glamour in slinky gold and red. Taking advantage of Amy Adams's years of dance training for the panel's front panel, Leibovitz had Channing Tatum lift her up on his shoulder, which prompted Tatum to joke, "I'm wearing Amy Adams."
"We made the picture in the same studio where we did the first Hollywood cover," Leibovitz, who shot the first Hollywood Issue cover in 1995 and all but three times since, tells West Coast editor Krista Smith. "It looks fairly simple, but in fact it was difficult to shoot. We choreographed it over two days. Usually you shoot from fairly far away, but we wanted to get really close to the actors. We made an effort to create a feeling of intimacy. I pushed into them, shooting to the left and then the right, coming in as tight as I could. It was hair-raising, at least for me."
Amy Adams recently earned her second Golden Globe for her performance as painter Margaret Keane in Tim Burton's Big Eyes.
Channing Tatum revealed his dramatic chops as Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz in Foxcatcher.
Reese Witherspoon received her second best-actress Oscar nomination for her spectacular performance in Wild. She served as a producer on that film, as well as on the Oscar-nominated Gone Girl.
Eddie Redmayne's stunning portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything recently won him an Oscar nomination.
Benedict Cumberbatch cracks the enigma code—and earns an Oscar nomination doing it—as computer scientist Alan Turing in The Imitation Game.
Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo perfectly conjured Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma.
Sienna Miller marks a grand return to American cinema with her heartbreaking performance as Bradley Cooper's wife in American Sniper.
Oscar Isaac gives a tour de force performance in A Most Violent Year.
Miles Teller stars in Whiplash, which won the Audience and Grand Jury Prizes at last year's Sundance Film Festival.
The March issue of Vanity Fair will be available in New […]
Movies to look forward to at the Sundance Film Festival
This week, the Sundance Film Festival gets underway, seeking to highlight the best in independent film. I won't be in Park City this year, sadly, though I have been in the past and can vouch for it as a really unique and enjoyable (if exhausting) festival to attend. In honor of its 2015 start, I wanted to run down some of the higher profile titles that could make a dent on the awards season later on this year. If not Oscar players, these could at least become the indie darlings of the season, or perhaps just crossover successes. Had I been in attendance at Sundance, there's almost two dozen movies that I'd be hoping to catch, but I whittled a list down to just ten of the ones I want to highlight most. Take a look…
Here are ten films to look forward to once they leave Sundance:
10. Digging For Fire – In the last few years, Joe Swanberg has really upped his game, not only in terms of casting bigger names, but also coming up with compelling plots that still fit his unique filmmaking personality. Hopefully he continues the trend with this latest venture, which features a great cast, including Rosemarie DeWit, Jake Johnson (who co-wrote the script), Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Ron Livingston, Chris Messina, Sam Rockwell, and Jenny Slate, along with many others. Swanberg is on a high, so fingers crossed here.
9. I Smile Back – I was impressed by Sarah Silverman's partly dramatic turn a couple years ago in Take This Waltz, so a full on serious role has me very intrigued. Silverman co-stars with Josh Charles and Thomas Sodoski in the story of an unhappy married woman lashing out with numerous vices. Silverman deserves this sort of a role, so I'll be eager to see if she aces it.
8. A Walk in the Woods – Festival godfather Robert Redford stars here with Nick Nolte in a movie about old men talking, essentially. Doesn't immediately sound too amazing, but I have to say, the chance to witness them going back and forth is rather appealing. It'll likely be a mellow film, but I'm down to check it out.
7. Brooklyn – The latest script from novelist turned screenwriter Nick Hornby is a period piece set in 1950's Ireland. Saoirse Ronan is the star, along with supporting players Jim Broadbent, Emory Cohen, and Domhnall Gleeson. This one seems to […]
How "American Sniper" became Clint Eastwood's biggest hit to date
Over the past few weeks, Clint Eastwood's second 2014 release (after the mostly ignored musical Jersey Boys) American Sniper has gone from an also ran in the awards race to a Best Picture nominee and a huge financial success. What started with an incredibly profitable limited opening has morphed now into a wide release that has set all the records for the box office in the month of January. How did this happen? This was once thought of as a second tier film through and through, so what makes it the blockbuster among the Academy's Best Picture lineup. Let's look at the movie now and try to find out.
First of all, if you know nothing about the movie, here's a quick primer. It's a biopic/war film about decorated sniper Chris Kyle, known as perhaps the United States' best ever in that field. During the Iraq War, he had more confirmed kills than anyone, leading to some calling him a hero. Back home, he struggled with being away from the field, which put a strain on his marriage. His story ultimately ends in tragedy, which is best left for viewers unaware of Kyle's life to discover. Eastwood directs a cast led by Bradley Cooper a Kyle, with Sienna Miller as his wife. The script is by Jason Hall, which at one point was going to be directed by Steven Spielberg (and then actually David O. Russell, due to his relationship with Cooper). Eastwood came on board and utilized his quick filmmaking skills, leading to a last minute 2014 release. The rest now is literally history, both in terms of the box office and potentially also the Oscars.
Secondly, it's important to realize just how strong this box office opening actually is for American Sniper. It played like a superhero movie, frankly, opening to a three day total of $89.5 million and including today, it'll make for a four day weekend gross of $105.3 million. Honestly, that's insane. It's easily the biggest January opening of all time, an all time great opening for an R rated film, and almost unheard of for a biopic. It certainly wasn't the plan. This weekend was initially thought to be Selma's time, due obviously in part to it being MLK weekend, but still…these numbers are above and beyond any one single factor. It's definitely a combination of things.
So what are the factors fueling all of this? On […]
"Foxcatcher": What's Up with the 2015 Awards Race
Directed by: Bennett Miller
Written by: E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman
Main Cast: Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo Vanessa Redgrave, and Sienna Miller, among others…
Past Oscar relations: Futterman, Miller, and Ruffalo are previous Oscar nominees, while Redgrave is an Academy Award winner on top of her multiple citations
Today we have another brand new article in this ongoing series of mine concerning certain high profile 2014 releases hoping to compete for some sort of actual Oscar attention as a contender at the upcoming 2015 ceremony. Next up for here for us is one of the more honored contenders of the year already in Foxcatcher. It's a festival favorite that's hoping to become one of the top prestige works in the Best Picture race. Does it have a strong chance? Well, let me get into that a little bit right now…
This movie is a drama based on the infamous true story of Jon du Pont and brothers David and Mark Schultz. In short, du Pont is a disturbed millionaire who becomes interesting in coaching wrestling and recruits Mark to be his prized pupil. He eventually also hires well respected coach David to head up the team, though he quickly feels inferior to him, much like Mark has as well. Tension rises until the real life tragedy occurs. It's a powerful film, to say the least. Bennett Miller directs, while Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo Vanessa Redgrave, Sienna Miller, and Anthony Michael Hall head up the cast. E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman co-wrote the screenplay, and now the film begins its official run this weekend, hoping to attract solid Oscar attention.
What this film has going in its favor is the top notch performances by Carell, Ruffalo, and Tatum, as well as the direction from Miller. They're all at the top of their game, doing tightly wound and uncomfortable yet unforgettable work. There's an undercurrent of humor here as well that really gives it an added bit of darkness. It's uncompromising, but in the best way possible. Miller won Best Director when the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, so the pedigree is already there. If Oscar voters are as taken as the jury at Cannes was, Best Picture, Best Director (for Miller), Best Actor (for Carell and/or Tatum), Best Supporting Actor (for Ruffalo), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Original […]
Re-ranking the contenders in Best Supporting Actress
Ladies and gentlemen, as I've been mentioning to you over the past couple of weeks, it's getting to be go time, as it were. With the festival season well underway/now nearing completion and just about all of the major contenders for the Academy Awards having screened or about to screen, now seems like as good a time as any to take a look at the big eight categories to see what's what in an updated/more expanded fashion. I did this with the major categories a few months back, but that was when almost everything was still just speculation. We have some facts to go on now, so while much of this is still mostly an educated guess, I'm once again not completely relying on overt hunches this time around. It's more of an even mix, depending on the film/director/performer in question, of course. Today I'm turning my attention once again to the Best Supporting Actress field, which, like the other categories, won't necessarily match up with Best Picture in any overtly noticeable way, but likely won't be too far off from the pack in the end either. Read on to see what I'm talking about for this one here…
One special note about Best Supporting Actress this year is that, unlike the other categories, it seems to be the weakest of the lot. There's a de facto frontrunner, but aside from her, no one seems to be talking about any of the contenders as potential winners. In fact, just filling up a list of the hopefuls can be a bit challenging. At best, there are four ladies who can feel like they have decent shots at a nomination. More so than anywhere else, that fifth spot is just wide open, so in that sense it's really anyone's game.
Here are the ten particular thespians that I have in play for Best Supporting Actress, with the top five cracking the unofficial lineup at this point:
1. Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) – Our frontrunner by default, Arquette is of course terrific in Boyhood, but in other years she certainly wouldn't be the odds on favorite this early on. That being said, if Boyhood is seriously contending for a Best Picture win, her chances only improve. I wouldn't be shocked if someone else managed to wrestle the crown from her, but I also wouldn't be shocked at all if Arquette just winds up waltzing to not just […]
"American Sniper": Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood enter the Oscar race
Yesterday it was announced that Clint Eastwood will have a second 2014 release hoping to sway Academy voters, and this one is a far more appealing fit for Oscar. It's his adaptation of American Sniper, which Bradley Cooper stars in and has championed to the big screen. Cooper in fact initially had Steven Spielberg lined up to direct, but when he had to step away, Eastwood came on board and seemingly has utilized his efficient filmmaking techniques and gotten the project ready for release this year. Instead of coming out in 2015, American Sniper now is prepping for an Oscar qualifying release at the end of December.
For those of you unaware what American Sniper is about, it's an adaptation of the novel by Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL who recorded over 150 kills as a sniper before tragically dying on home turf in a shooting accident. Cooper will play Kyle, while the supporting cast includes the likes of Kyle Gallner, Lucas Grimes, Sam Jaeger, Sienna Miller, and more. The screenplay is by Jason Dean Hall and of course Eastwood is behind the camera. There's certainly some potential here for awards attention, no doubt about that.
Back when Eastwood made Million Dollar Baby, this same release strategy was used to great effect. That was another film that initially wasn't on the calendar, but then snuck up on folks. I remember the late Roger Ebert being one of the first to talk about it, saying it was going to win Best Picture, and go figure…it did. It also won Best Actress for Hilary Swank and Best Director for Eastwood, so I'm sure the powers that be are hoping that the same thing can happen here, just substituting Cooper into the Best Actor field instead.
If this film is good, one can certainly see it contending in the Best Picture, Best Director (for Eastwood), Best Actor (for Cooper), Best Supporting Actor (for Grimes perhaps), Best Supporting Actress (for Miller), Best Adapted Screenplay, and various technical Oscar categories. My guess is that Best Picture and Best Actor will be the major plays, as Cooper could look to turn his potential third nomination into his first Academy Award win. That's just a hunch, but it's not a total shot in the dark either.
Now, Eastwood hasn't had the best track record with his movies of late. I'd in fact argue that you have to go back to the […]

Respond to Review of The Rabbit Hole Vegan Hair Parlour
by italyer
Review: I got my hair cut here yesterday and I love it! Dori is so amazing! I've never felt so well taken care of in any hair salon! I'm visiting London from the states and she even helped give recommendations for vegan stuff around town. If you're ever in London and in need of a hair cut, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Decorating & Food Ideas
For a surf party at the beach, you won't need many decorations because the sand and sea are the main attractions. You can help guests find your spot at the beach by tying a large bunch of balloons to a chair. Remember to have plenty of sunscreen on hand as well. You should also bring sand toys, hula hoops, and beach umbrellas.
- Set the mood by playing lots of classic surf music from the 1960's like the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and the Surfaris.
- For a party in your back yard, decorate with lots of beach balls, sand pails and beach umbrellas.
- Cut out surfboard shapes from colorful foam poster board and hang them from tree limbs.
- Use sidewalk chalk to draw giant letters on the driveway spelling out "Beach This Way" and an arrow pointing to your yard.
- Set out lots of beach umbrellas, lawn chairs, and beach towels. Add a sand pail filled with a few bottles of sunscreen.
- For table decorations, use seashells, starfish, snorkel masks or sunglasses.

- Tie groups of helium balloons around the party area. Add beach themed Mylar balloons to some of the groups, and keep them in place with balloon weights.
Choose from these suggestions to create your Surf Party menu:
- Offer sandwiches, hot dogs or hamburgers. For a party at a beach, you will need to check in advance with the local town hall to be sure you are allowed to use a grill on the beach.
- Make little signs for each food item with a beach name like Sandy Beach Burgers, Hang Loose Hot Dogs, Surf's Up Salad, Fun in the Sun Fruit Kabobs and Catch a Wave Chip and Dip.
- Serve the chips or cookies in clean, new, plastic sand pails, and use clean sand shovels as serving spoons for salads.
- Be sure to bring lots of water and other drinks in a cooler to keep the children hydrated throughout the party.
- Surf Party Cake Idea: Start with a round two-layer cake and cover the sides with white frosting. On the top, cover half with the white frosting and the other half with blue frosting. Draw a rippled edge between the two halves to create a wavy shoreline. Crush graham crackers and sprinkle them over the white frosting on the top and the sides to give the appearance of sand. Add gumballs as miniature beach balls and a few small drink umbrellas to the beach side on top of the cake. Then set three small toy surfboards sticking up from the waves in the blue ocean side of the cake.

The Bad
As mentioned above, most of the reviews read for this report were positive but complaints were quite frequent as well.more
The most cited complaint was from noise disturbances from a nearby conference centre which holds parties and banquets with loud music into the night. Guests also felt the area was sketchy and several guests mentioned people in the area that seemed to be loitering and an sense of not being safe, especially female guests.
Some guests were surprized to find out that the shuttle to the airport was not free, and neither was extended parking. Besides this the shuttle was sometimes not accessible as would be normally expected.
Along with these factors, the hotel, although admittedly clean appeared run down to some guests and this contributed to some negative opinions about the free breakfast which appeared to lack an appetizing look and flavour.
