IMDb's plot description makes it sound like a cheap cartoonish college
romp with grossout humor, ala American Pie or Without a Paddle, but
this is really nothing of the sort.
This movie is a relentless adventure from beginning to end. It hits the ground running with 4 guys at a wild Vegas bachelor party (with basically no introductions, you learn about these people through the story). Things go wrong, and soon they're running around Mexico in tuxedos (it's more fun if I don't tell you how they got there), trying to get home in time for the wedding, with no money, continuing to party while simultaneously debating the merits of marriage versus bachelorhood all the way through.
Despite that plot, which IS a pretty accurate description of what you're seeing most of the time, this is actually a rather adult coming-of-age exploration with realistic characters. They're in a collective transition between keggers and picket fences, that depressing era in life when you're either getting married or watching your friends do so, a readily identifiable situation for almost anyone. The true depth of that perilous time is felt and explored almost completely. These guys could easily be your real-life friends, and a couple wrong turns at a wild enough party might even land you in a similar situation.
Yes, this film is equal parts humor and serious reflection. It's got depth and morals, but a surprise around every turn. You really won't have a clue what's coming next, which makes you feel like you're experiencing the adventure along with them.
I could've done without the cornball ending. The story turns in on itself, deus-ex-machina style, betraying its adventurous spirit. The adventure really would've worked better at face value, but oh well.
It's a lot of fun, it's thought-provoking, and it stays with you. It's also a great production, with acting, directing, and camera work that all seem to be top-notch. I haven't looked into the film's actual level of "independence", so to speak, but to me it looked worthy of big-budget Hollywood. The writing was great too, with the possible exception of that ending which I already complained about. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed this and it never left me bored. A superb film in my humble opinion.
If you revel in the feeling of not knowing what's coming next, and if you find yourself pondering life's journey from time to time, I think you'll enjoy this.
Imagine a bunch of buddies who end in Mexico because they jumped out a
plane whose pilot couldn't handle the map. All of them have been on a
stag night and now find themselves guest of a local crime lord.
This is worse (Or at least at bad) as it sounds - there is nothing here to lift this out of the mainly boring category - the script hasn't got the spark necessary, the plot is turgid, and while everyone is engaged in the project (SO it get's a 2 from me) it just is flat out non-entertaining.
I can't work out why this got made when better scripts and better projects don't: it isn't original, it isn't fun or funny, character development is sketchy at best, and all in all, it's just plain boring.
I guess someone will love this but not me.
I gave this film a high rating for one reason: execution. The acting,
filming and scripting were all well done. The soundtrack is on-point.
I have also given special consideration for the low budget production. Ready or Not certainly overcomes its financing.
This film is a drama/comedy, not vice-versa. It has a unique indie picture vibe. In many ways, it reminds me of "The Hangover" without the nonstop jokes. The flamenco guitar keeps the tempo even to the pace of the plot. The main jokester reminds me of Zane Lamprey of Three Sheets stardom. This movie is a journey so be prepared.
Bottom line: If you don't have patience for a medium to slow paced movie: Steer clear! However, if you're under 35 and enjoy real life comedy with several awkward situations and real life relevance, give it a look.
Great quotes in this one.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
To buddy who wrote the "sub-sub-entourage" comment. I think your main
problem was you were lost from the beginning. Your explanation of the
plane scene was completely off. From there, anything you had to say
lost all credit with me.
I liked the camera work in this movie. The scenery and landscapes were also nice. Some original comedy, good jokes. Nothing extraordinary but a good watch imo.
I see a lot of people leave nasty comments that are way off-base on this site. I think they're just bitter wastes that use places like this to vent rage, instead of giving useful insight into movies, which is just sad.
A group of uninteresting blokes with spare cash and low intellect party
in Vegas to see off their bud, who is about to get married. One of the
pathetic bunch of losers plans various side events like getting the
bachelor dressed in women's lingerie and pushing him off a plane with a
parachute. Things go awry when instead of jumping out at a preset
location they jump off the plane in the middle of Mexico... cashless
and lost they attempt to get to the wedding on time...
Theoretically a good excuse for a plot. But you need a writer with some wit and actors with some charm. We have none of these prerequisite. Our heroes aren't even introduced to us before they are dropped on the Mexican soil. And you never really get a chance to know them, even more to like them.
Basically this feels more like an attempt at giving us a movie of HOW NOT TO MAKE A VEGAS BACHELOR PARTY flick. No gracias. Pass at any cost. It doesn't even have any decent fart jokes...
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Since the movie didn't even have -any- votes yet on IMDb it was obvious not a very large movie production nor that popular. The poster looked okay, and so did the entire visual part of the movie. It wasn't shot badly, the camera work was decent and professional (besides for example a moment where they accidentally shot the right front corner of the follow car and quickly turned the camera away), and the audio was decent too. The storyline was just disappointing. Bunch of guys walking through some fields and suddenly falling into the next scene, another field... They ran into some random people and it all slightly connected with each other. The first hour was pretty dull and boring. A few grins here and there, but nothing more, nothing less. I guess the last 15 minutes where the best part of the movie, when the plot unfolded and the true reasons all became clear. That was the best part of the movie, but besides the last 15 minutes, it was all a waste of time. Don't watch it with friends like I did, grab a real comedy in that case. 3/10 because it wasn't a bad B-movie type, it contained a few grins, and looked proper.
First off you have you're stereotypical college buddies. The tool-cool confirmed bachelor doesn't believe in blood. The whiny loser looking for love. The inconvenient married guy hen-picked looking to cut loose since his over-bearing wife isn't there. They have the strippers come thru and wake-up jumping from one telegraphed cliché to another. The GANGSTERs house who treats him good and betas everyone else. Warn them not to touch his sister, wife, daughter, they do, and are hunted. The come to Jesus moment in the Indian Peyot tent. The ending is stupid and thru-out the entire movie you're thinking thats how its going to end. It's a long way for no pay-off, no comedy, and no nudity.

Cruise.com and The Cabin Clearance Store both are not honest agency companies.
We have been re-confirmed by Cabin Clearance Store the price was same as the offer inCruiseComplete.com. However, when we perpared to book and pay the deposit in a few hours, they suddenly increased the price which was much higher than other agency and the Cruise Company too. The explanation was soooooo funny that the rep. told us that offer had been changed in a few days ago, if so, why they quoted the fake price when they received customers' requested to quote ???
This was not the first time they did, we have the same experience before by Cabin Clearance Store. Unfortunately,
CruiseComplete.com cannot control these trick ~ had to " BAD LIST " them.
Cruise.com did the same when I was booking the cruise, already chosen the cabin and the price and total amount had been shown same as their website, when I prepared to pay the deposit, I noted a mailing fee $45, then I called them to certify that amount, suddenly the rep. told me the total amount was higher than what I saw the amount online (I was faced to my computer staying at the online payment page, I told what I saw the total amount at the invoice which I was processing online that moment, however, she told me the price was not corrected; then she held my line about 10 minutes and replied me she had called the Cruise company ~ the cabin price had been changed and increased by Cruise company. I cannot believe and did not want to waste time argue with her then I requested to cancel that booking. Now, I just checked the price for the same Cat. still running in the same price which I saw before.
Stay away from these two agency companies ~ Cabin Clearance Store and Cruise.com. They are VERY VERY BAD.

Local youngsters meet their football heroes
Published by rtownsend for Sanctuary Housing Association in Communities and also in Education, Housing
Rochford youngsters followed in the footsteps of their football heroes recently after they were given an exclusive behind the scenes tour of Southend United with players from the club.
The young people from Rochford Housing, part of leading housing and care provider Sanctuary Group, were able to taste life as a professional as they were taken around Roots Hall in the company of manager Phil Brown and striker Britt Assombalonga.
Following a question and answer session with the famous duo, the youngsters visited exclusive areas of the ground including the players' changing rooms and museum.
After going behind the scenes, it was back pitchside for the aspiring footballers who got to speak with the manager further about the matchday experience.
The tour rounded off an exciting programme of football training for the youngsters which has been delivered in partnership with Southend United.
The programme offered professional coaching to local young people, designed to help them develop their sporting talents, improve physical health and wellbeing, increase confidence and self-esteem, and interact and engage with other members of the community in a positive way.
The workshops formed part of Sanctuary's wider national Football and Fitness Project involving nine similar partnerships with football league clubs across the UK.
Resident Andrew Leggett, one of the youngsters who has been taking part in the project, said: "It was fantastic to be able to play football with other people from the area and I've made some great friends. The tour was such a good experience and Phil Brown told me all about how he became involved in the game which was really interesting."
Joe Skeels, Southend United's social inclusion officer, added: "It was a truly wonderful experience for the youngsters to be able to meet Phil and Britt, and see what it's like to be a professional footballer.
"I hope the sessions and the tour will inspire these young people to follow their dreams and push themselves as far as they can – one day they might be the ones giving the tour themselves!"

A great first experience with Water Cooling 03/05/2014
This review is from: CORSAIR Hydro Series H80i High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 120mm
I've wanted a water cooling system ever since I built my first system back in 2007. As you know, they were ridiculously expensive at $300+ and required an external system with tubing going into the case for the most part.
This is undoubtedly revolutionary thus why I jumped on it when I found out about a closed loop, zero maintenance water cooling solution; and its by Corsair. It's a system and it keeps my system running very cool. I have the i7 4770k OC's to 4.5GHz @ 1.145v and during gaming and CPU intensive programs, temperatures don't break 55°C ±. the CPU idles at 32°C ±. Plus it looks very attractive with the tubing.
The only cons I have with this system are the fans. They are extremely loud when cranked under full load. I don't know if I got defective ones or If they are supposed to be like that. They have a very high pitch noise and the vibration ripples through the case thus amplifying the noise.
This is an easy fix as I simply replaced mine. Can't say I was happy to spend additional $20 on fans, but it's no big deal.
Other Thoughts:
Definitely recommend it if you're going to be overclocking or just want lower temperatures.

The Florida Gators and the Michigan Wolverines will meet in the 2017 Cowboys Classic, both schools officially announced this morning.
The game will be played on Sept. 2, 2017 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It will be the season-opener for both schools and will be televised nationally in prime-time.
Word of the Florida-Michigan match-up was leaked by the Big Ten in October. The conference accidentally posted a chart of their entire non-conference schedule through 2025, and this was one of the games listed.
Florida and Michigan have met twice previously, both in bowl games. The Wolverines defeated the Gators 38-30 in the 2003 Outback Bowl and 41-35 in the 2008 Capital One Bowl.
"We are excited to make a return trip to Dallas for the Cowboys Classic against Florida," said Michigan head coach Brady Hoke. "This is a great way to reach our fan base in the south and to continue to expand our recruiting efforts in the state of Texas. Our goal is to have as many Michigan fans at the game as possible. Florida has been one of college football's best programs over the past 20 years, and we are excited to face the Gators in a regular season football game for the first time ever."
"This is a great opportunity to expose the University of Florida nationally, playing one of the greatest programs in the history of college football, I think a tremendous trip for our fans," Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley said. "It would give us great national visibility. Obviously, a very difficult ballgame against a storied program — that excites us."
The addition of Florida completes Michigan's 2017 football schedule. The Wolverines also have non-conference games set vs. Cincinnati on Sept. 9 and Air Force on Sept. 16. Conference games include Michigan State and Ohio State at home and Penn State and Wisconsin on the road.
Florida now has their first announced non-conference game for the 2017 season. The Gators should also host Florida State to close the regular-season.
Football Schedules
First non-conference game outside of Florida since 1991. First time starting the season outside of Gainesville since 1987. First time starting the season outside of Florida since 1979
"regular season non-conference game outside of Florida". UF has played out of conference in these things called bowl games many times outside of Florida.
every team plays out of conference for bowl games. EVERY TEAM. he said regular season bro. it's not a big deal but it's something that has been noted for years and now Florida breaks that trend. good for them.
and more than anything, good for the fans of both of these programs. I know people are all about the money and this and that. but these kinds of match-ups are really appreciated by the fanbases!
Two programs that were once the leading football power in their respective states trying to reverse their spiraling decline into mediocrity.
Is this so they don't have to play Georgia Southern or App State? Hahaha ;) GO EAGLES
i would love to hear from gville merchants about this f'ing asinine game and the city of gville for its annual budget I don't
want or need this game for UF to be a premiere program…why?
Glad to see the SEC in these early season "kickoff" type games on neutral fields against big time schools. Florida already plays Florida State every season along with the SEC schedule and now Michigan should really help the strength of schedule that the new CFP committee will be looking at more when selecting schools. Kudos to the SEC and Big Ten conferences.
Especially since Michigan Whooped their ass this past January 41-7 in the Citrus Bowl….
LMAO! That just might be it!

You're a liar!!!
AUTHOR: Jennifer Bracy - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, February 26, 2014
If you are indeed the owner of Car Computer Exchange, then you should know your manager Bryan sold me a bad PCM and now refuses to refund my money and he has the original part! You know what that leaves me with? NOTHING! Well, I do have the Attorney General's complaint that I've filed and the BBB complaint, as well as every website out there that I can post this warning to any potential consumer out there! So I would heed the "competitor's" advice and stay away form this company and his other scam companies Imperial Auto Service in Cary NC. They will sell you a junk part then refuse their guaranteed refund and accuse you of just testing the part. Duh, I tested it when I determined that it didn't work!! But guess what? That makes you ineligible for a refund, because you attempted to make your broken car run again with their part!! So you were just testing it when it didn't work and sent it back for a refund and they WON'T honor it and cheat you out of your money!!!!!! Thieves!!!

#4 REBUTTAL Owner of company
False complaint by competitor
AUTHOR: Adam - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 02, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, April 02, 2013
First off I am the owner of this company my name is Adam Hogan.
Second we repair, reprogram and Remanufacture used computers or core returns. That is the same process that Chrysler does as well as large players like A1 Cardone and yes both the dealer and A1 cardone do purchase cores from junk yards when the dont have any in stock as do we.
We dont simply paint the computers and send them as this anonymous person would say we do.
We would ask the complainant if they are a real person to please respond to this complaint with their real name instead of trying to hide.
We test computers on actual vehicles before they are shipped this seems to be the most reliable method for testing computers.We are one of the only ones in the industry that we know of that does this.
Again it doesnt suprise me that a competitor would post this false complaint, we do provide a far superior product at a cheaper price than our competitors and quite naturally it really ticks them off that we are in business.
I have a few words for the person posting this false complaint:
Instead of wasting your time posting false complaints about your competition focus on improving your product and your service to customers and you wont have to worry about losing sales to us.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

East Passyunk Avenue is hosting its own restaurant week starting on Sunday, February 21st and running through Saturday, February 27th. The week of deals on Philadelphia's hottest restaurant stretch come in three flavors. There are $15, $25 and $35 options that are available for lunch/brunch or dinner. Of the 24 restaurants participating six of the restaurants participating are in Philadelphia magazine's latest 50 Best Restaurants list.
Will and Stargazy Collaborate on a Pie
It's not like Sam Jacobson needs help making wonderful pies at East Passyunk's Stargazy but that doesn't mean he'll turn down a good idea.
Today and through the rest of the week, he's teamed up with Chris Kearse of Will BYOB to create a special dessert pie. Kearse took Epoisses de Bourgogne cheese and combined it with chopped chestnuts and handed it over to Jacobson, who baked it into the middle of his Bosc Pear Pie.
The results can be yours through the rest of the week, or until they're all sold out.
Stargazy [Foobooz]
Will's Tuesday Night Tasting Menus Return with Three Tasty Ingredients
Will BYOB on Passyunk Avenue is restarting its Tuesday ingredient focused menus. On Tuesday, October 20th, pumpkin will be the featured ingredient. On Tuesday, November 17th, it will be all about the pork. December rounds out the year with a lobster focused menu on Tuesday, December 15th.
The dinners are $55 per person and of course Will is BYOB.
The Gastronaut: It Gets Better
I was at Aldine for dinner on opening night, and it was awful.
Of all the dishes set before me, I only found two of them appetizing enough to finish, and with another one, I had to pull the old Oh look, some of it fell on the floor trick just to make it appear as though I'd taken more than one bite.
But it's okay. Don't worry. Aldine got better.
I ate at Sbraga years ago, shortly after it opened. It was one of the most talked-about restaurants in the city, but not all the talk was good. And, frankly, neither was dinner. It was gimmicky, too clever, muddled in a way that I think was supposed to feel casual and fun but didn't.
But Sbraga got better, too. Read more »
Tuesday Tasting Dinners At Will: Morel Mushrooms
Will is running a Tuesday Tasting Dinner series in which chef Chris Kearse takes one item and then crafts a complete menu around that single ingredient. And on Tuesday, May 20, that ingredient is morel mushrooms. Wild morels from Oregon, in this case. And there are still a few seats left.
The dinner is five courses. Tickets are $55. And you can get yours by calling the restaurant at 215-271-7683.
Oh, and yes. We have the menu. Check it out below.
Lineup Set for Taste of the Nation
The lineup for the 2014 Taste of the Nation fundraiser for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign has been finalized. More than thirty restaurants including Serpico, Will and Vernick Food and Drink will be participating at the April 27th event. Tickets are on sale now fro the event which will take place at the Hotel Monaco. General admission tickets are $95 and VIP tickets (which come with an early admission time ar $145).
About Last Night: Pork Hearts And Awesome Sauce
Two of my favorite places to eat in Philadelphia competed Monday night at our 23rd Foobooz Open Stove event. It was a knife fight between Cheu Noodle Bar's sous chef, Chad Smith, and Will BYOB's sous chef, Craig Russell. I asked Chad before we began if he was going to be doing anything Asian-inspired, or rather, Cheu-esque. And the soft spoken chef looked up, said "nope," and went back to his prep. I walked over to the other side, where Craig was furiously assembling his amuse bouche, and I observed, "This doesn't look very 'Will.'" to which he responded, "You won't see a single shaved vegetable on our plates tonight." Now this, obviously, was not a dig at Chris Kearse. He just wanted to make sure the world knew that this was his food, done his way. The same went for Chad: this wasn't going to be an extension of Ben Puchowitz's style—this was going to be all Chad.
So it began–Open Stove XXIII, a battle between two powerhouse restaurants in a restaurant obsessed city, with food by sous chefs who may be as talented as they come. And if you missed being there for the actual event, don't worry. We have pictures–which don't taste quite as good as the food that was served at COOK, but are the next best thing.
Tonight: Collaboration Dinner At Will
All throughout the month of March, chef Chris Kearse is doing collaboration dinners at his East Passyunk BYO Will. Every Thursday, it's a different chef, a different menu. The one thing that stays the same? the price: $70 for five courses.
He's doing these dinners every Thursday night. And since today just happens to be Thursday, that means he's doing one tonight–a collaboration with Townsend Wentz who has been very busy lately announcing the openings of new restaurants (most notably, his resurrection of the East Passyunk space that once housed Sophia's).
It's looking like a good party, and there are still some seats available. We've got the menu after the jump–and also a list of all the other dinners Will has on the books for this month of collaborations.
Chris Kearse Updates Will's Menu for Winter
Will BYOB has updated its menu for late winter. Chris Kearse has hearty dishes that might make you grateful that it's cold out. Dishes like foie gras and rabbit terrine, whole roasted hen of the woods mushrooms and a Berkshire Pork neck and sausage might just be enough for you to forgive this winter.
Also coming up at Will, a special "Heart" menu on February 18th.
Multi-Sensory Pop-Up with Inspiracle
Chef Rob Sidor is an industry vet. Before being the Chef de Cuisine of Di Bruno Bros., he cooked at both of Dan Stern's restaurants, Gayle and Rae, Chip Roman's Blackfish, and he's been doing some tasting/special menu consulting with Chris Kearse at Will BYOB over the past year.
He's also been doing a series of pop-up dinners under the name Inspiracle, and it's what he describes to be a "multi-course, multi-sensory dining experience." We're talking visual effects, auditory effects, scents and vapors and all their palatal effects. Plus things that engage the attendees, table-side: siphon infused sauces, edible "perfume", and smoking cinnamon at the table. On January 28th, for $100 a ticket (tickets include tax and gratuity), you'll be completely immersed in six-courses (plus a few surprises) of body-shaking, mind-baffling food.

NC Highway Patrol changes pursuit policy
Published: Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 11:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 11:31 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's Highway Patrol is changing its rules for pursuing criminal suspects, but a spokesman says the change isn't related to a crash that killed two people.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday a trooper won't join a pursuit unless a local police agency's emergency communications center formally requests help from the Highway Patrol's 911 center.
Patrol Sgt. Jeff Gordon says the change isn't connected to the car crash in May that killed two people in Guilford County. In that wreck, a trooper collided with a woman who was waiting to turn left at a stoplight.
Gordon says the other changes have to do with the wording to eliminate the possibility of miscommunication.

While I love Gamble, he is an above average corner, not elite. I would like to see us get an elite corner in the first round. I like the guy from LSU, but then again I though Laron Landry was the next coming and he hasn't panned out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oedipus the King
by Sophocles
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG for Oedipus sleeping with his Mom
The fact that Oedipus marries, sleeps with, and has four children with his mother gives rise to terms such as the Oedipus Complex... and is probably the best known element of the Oedipus trilogy.
However, although incest is going on, there's no sex during any of the three plays. Still, it's probably not a sterling idea to see a performance of this play as part of a Mother's Day outing.

I'm coming round to the idea. I think we need some one or thing in during the window, and someone with Beckham's professionalism will work wonders to instil a bit more grit - we've started to build the winning mentality, so it's a great time for him to come and reaffirm it. He'll also be a useful person for many of them - not just the midfielders - to train with in terms of the skills and techniques (and again professionalism) they can pick up/observe/get tips on, and finally will be a great role model (for want of a better word) for the many players we have in the fringe of the England set up.
I think it could be really mutually beneficial, and I do think there's space for a cameo from him in the squad (note squad, not necessarily team), my main concern is how it would work with the squad numbers etc - would he be named in our PL squad of 25? What about the CL? Cos it seems a waste to name someone who'll only be there for a couple of months, but I can't imagine he'd just be around for the FA cup...
On a side note, that's 2 consecutive clean sheets - go us!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
First of all - Happy New year to all of the posters on the board - I have high hopes for the New Year and what we can accomplish.
Second - I agree with NBR re: Beckham. I also think that he is perhaps worth inclusion in the CL squad. We know that many of the games - especially away - may end up with penalties, or may swing on a set play - and while there's no doubt Becks is slow (he was never that quick), he is still one of the best strikers of the dead ball - and it would free VdV up to be in the box where he is just as dangerous as he is when he is striking the set pieces.
And I'd still like to see a top striker and a LB!
Hope the upcoming year is good for all of ya!

Autoban designs and develops interior environments for commercial and residential purposes. In fact, they designed most of the trendy cafes and casual-chic clothing stores in Istanbul. Autoban considers each interior project as 'a story to be told'. Their unique style and approach is born from a joy for mixing the traditional with the contemporary.
In addition to creating spaces, Autoban also designs products. They approach product design as 'an exploration of natural and raw materials in new contexts'. Their first furniture prototypes were made from plywood, which provided the freedom for experimentation due to its low cost and the way it "formed in the mould like magic". Every Autoban product has a unique character, reflecting both designers' playful approach to "almost cliché" items. The designers cite the material and its capabilities as the inspiration for each design, but as the product names imply, Autoban's designs are also highly influenced by nature and the rituals of daily life. Autoban products are best summarised as emotionally expressive, visually inspiring objects with a timeless, pleasure-to-live-with quality.
Over the past few years, Autoban has received a number of international design awards including being named "Best Young Designers" by Wallpaper magazine. The team is proud of their awards, as well as their widespread coverage in numerous design periodicals from around the world, now piling under the office desk! For that, Autoban says, "A massive thank you to everyone for their great support!"
At the end of 2006, Autoban opened their gallery simply named the "Autoban Gallery", which showcases the best of their continually developing designs, that is, items in limited edition. With the new brand called "Autoban and De La Espada", entered the retail sector in 2007, aiming to reach every Autoban lovers on the world.

My impressions are I hear that guitar by itself on the left (which I like), and a bunch of other stuff slightly to the right.
I wasn't sure if I was hearing a third guitar part on the right or if it was an echo/reverb/crosstalk kind of thing.
If it was my mixing console, or even if it was within reach, I'd pan those drums hard right to see what it sounds like, especially in light of the recent thread about stereo/mono mixes. There's no harm in playing with expectations.
Oh yeah, I also like it!

I actually did try a version with the drums panned hard right - inspired by the Ventures version, which does the same. For some reason I didn't like it here, though I'm not opposed to it in theory.
There are two bass parts - the lead bass and a regular bass part that is more less mimicking the spy-sounding riff. Then there's the slightly overdriven, tremolo'd guitar part that's strumming/arpeggiating the chords. All of the guitars are recorded in stereo, which might the cross talk you're hearing.

Nice work! Not familiar with the original recordings but I would like to hear a steady rhythm guitar (maybe acoustic?) added low in the mix.

It's subjective, but I dig it. I've been listening to the Bambi Molesters latest quite a bit lately, and enjoying the hard left-right separation of the two guitars.
If I had any criticism it would be that the mix feels a little "right heavy" which is slightly distracting to me. Is the lead bass panned a little to the right? I'd like to hear it with the lead bass centered and let the other bass (right) balance out the guitar on the left. The mix levels sound pretty good to me.
Cool tune.

My advice is the same no matter what the song being mixed. Burn to disc and play in a medium-quality, factory car stereo. If you like what you hear, move on to the laptop speakers. If not, recycle.
That said, I would compress and harmonically excite the baritone (Bass VI?) track until it is prominent enough to carry the melody, but not so much that it loses all dynamics or gets noisy. The human ear naturally wants to hear melodies in a higher frequency band, so you have your psychoacoustic challenge laid out for you, for certain.
EDIT: Yup, did not notice either, but this thread is ancient...oh, well...move along, nothing to see here.—

For folks who have been through thick and thin with this stock, I must say the management did well contrary to what has been said here. Here are my rational:
1. During the crisis, they lost two of their top customers and almost bankrupt. They said that they are going to diversify their customer base as well as their product portfolio. They did it. They have moved to higher margin mobile solutions and reduce their dependency on commodity DRAM business. Also, they have diversified their customer base.
2. They have also turned around the company and is now almost net positive from heavily in debt. This company is a cash generating machine now.
3. The have balanced between high growth and risks by being prudent on their capex investments. In fact, I said that they have learned their lessons from pre-crisis period where they borrowed heavily for capex investment for future growth. They understood now that future growth, no matter how certain is not certain. They would rather have cash in the bank as they do now.
4. As the business improved but the stock price did not correspond accordingly, we asked them to do a buyback, give a dividend, and do a dual listing.....and they did/doing it. I'm one of those with an opinion that they should not do anymore buyback as this always masks the inefficiency and do not solve the root issues e.g. Home Depot during Nardelle years.
5. We have also asked them to do a roadshow in the US and attract analysts coverage. They also did that as well as hire a PR person. Craig Hallum initiated favorable coverage. Since this is a microcap firm, I'm not sure we are going to attract more analyst coverage. After all, this is post-Lehman years and the analyst groups have been shrinking in many investment firms.
6. They have also provide accurate guidance. In fact, their guidance is always spot on. No sand-bagging or over-promise
Now, how many companies can we say do the above as 'advised' by their shareholders. I will challenge anybody to go over the last 5 years of earnings call transcripts and let me know what they said they will do but did not do it. You will be hard-pressed to find any.

Fish breath. You may be one of the worst investors I have come across. Here is your quote "I believe business has deteriorated. I believe management is not honest. I think they will miss 4Q. Tell me, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's priced in, but if December is down 5% and 4Q comes in below revenue guidance and GM is around 15%, doesn't the stock fall?
All that said you would buy if a buy back is announced. Laughable isn't it

Sentiment: Strong Buy
It's not a comeback. I can't personally confirm the scent of my mom's privates. People that I trust agree with your assessment.
I think you should ask that question to everyone on this board "Why would you even consider buying if you don't believe in management."
You hit the nail on the head. They put their money where their mouth is, I will turn on a dime and go long. I believe business has deteriorated. I believe management is not honest. I think they will miss 4Q. Tell me, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's priced in, but if December is down 5% and 4Q comes in below revenue guidance and GM is around 15%, doesn't the stock fall? Won't shorts pile on. Won't people here on margin be forced to sell? Won't DLS, Chilton, or Acadian sell, knowing that management isn't going to step up. Oh, the Taiwan listing...sure, if it all pans out without more hangups.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
My point was we have beating the #&# out of management but they have been pretty responsive to our suggestions if they they have the means to do it. Sure, they could do better at PR or their previous buybacks, however, i do think that they really do not want to be in the crisis position again where they have no cash and have to beg the banks.
We all have no control over the price of the stock or the folks that really want to short the stock to make a few bucks. By providing dividend, which is is just $4 million cash ($.14 x 29 million) where they generated over $80-100M free cash flow, this is crazy. Look at CY (cypress) or TSMC. Their dividend is over 30-40% of free cash flow. By providing this dividend, they put a floor on the stock price. I think this is smart. Many people will argue that buybacks are better than dividend wrt to tax (which I agree). However, I really think the dividend is a smart move to ensure the stock price will not fall to the low levels we seen previously.
If they use 10M for dividend, at current price, the yield will be 3.5% which will attract many income investors.

***What are you talking about? They're in excellent financial position now. Its not 2008. FCF for six weeks could fund another buyback so even if they have to borrow from Bermuda they could easily pay it back post-IPO.

***What floor are you talking about it?"
Sentiment: Strong Buy
JJ, I agree with everything you stated except a buy back would be the only thing at this point that would matter. It would increase our conversion rate when IMOS shares are exchanged for Chipmos Taiwan shares. What does not mater is the share price of IMOS but the the outstanding shares would. If IMOS is $25 or $1 our conversion will still be the same. What I think some of us are missing is the need for cash in Bermuda as IMOS will be buying back 4.5 million shares from Thailin at the same time of the IPO. I believe management at this point does not know how much money will be needed for that and how much money IMOS will receive from their sale of 120 million shares of Chipmos Taiwan in the IPO. The purchase of the 4.5 million shares of IMOS from Thailin could be in the range of $75 to $100 million. Even if we did a buy back now of say $10 million and bought back 800,000 shares that would reduce the share count by about 2.5%. To put that into perspective if we think the stock is worth $25 now then after the buy back it would only increase it to $25.63. I think the point I am making is that an extra .63 cents would be great but is not the real focus right now for SK and SJ . I think at this point management should be focused 100% on the Taiwan listing as there are to many unknowns as far as funds that will be needed for IMOS. What we really want management focused on is this best valuation for the IPO. That is where we all will prosper. Approximatly 29 million shares of IMOS will be converted into Chipmos Taiwan and management needs to make sure we get a fare value for Chipmos Taiwan.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Caff, the point your missing on the buyback is what it means to investor confidence. Its not about the metrics so much as it is about what p/e the market will give a company they think is shareholder oriented. A buyback announcement tomorrow would, in theory, boost the stock less than a buck but I suggest the stock would go higher than that. Without a buyback or threat thereof this stock is more easily susceptible to shorting as well. The fact management does such a poor job communicating everything you said doesn't help as well.
By the way, what's Thailin's debt level?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Very well put caff, spend 10 million to get .63 is better not to do when the listing is this close at hand.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Have to agree on all point's but number 5. Nobody appreciates the comeback of the year as much as long term holder's. David P. And their P.R. SUCK ! Each roadshow got the stock slammed.The money is there and all long term and Institutional holder's agree the best use of that money is for an " ACCRETIVE " buyback.I'm so tired of beating a dead horse.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You are a dumb terd and probably work with david paskuale or the company. Read any good finance book, you buy back shares when they are undervalued. That is a fact. The longs on this board that hate me would agree. You deserve to see this back at $6. I will be buying from you then.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
So now we know where your name came from SARD.. your mother smells like sardines
You don't always buy back shares when they are thought to be undervalued you dumb piece of $#!%. jj is spot on. A buy back has to be done at the perfect planned time or it will backfire. More companies fail to recover in a timely manner from bad buy backs than those who do in right. Sure it may prop up a stock price for a short time but done at the wrong time at it backfires. Imos will prevail. I'm adding at these levels.

The Paisley outfit's draw at Easter Road leaves them just eight points clear of bottom club Dundee after John Brown's side beat Hearts at Dens Park. However, victory over the Jambos at Tynecastle next Saturday will be enough to confirm an eighth successive season of top-flight football next term.
Griffiths opened the scoring after 31 minutes but Saints levelled through Esmael Goncalves on the hour mark. Hibs striker Ross Caldwell had the home side ahead again but two headers from Marc McAusland had the Buddies on the verge of safety with just eight minutes remaining. But Griffiths denied them with an equaliser four minutes from time.
The entertainment-starved crowd had to wait until a minute before the half-hour mark for their first genuine goalmouth incident as the home side's Jorge Claros held off Paul McGowan to play in Griffiths, but Craig Samson was down smartly to block his low shot.
However, Griffiths soon presented the Leith supporters with something to really feast on as he blasted home a delicious opener. Claros and Danny Handling combined in midfield before the latter fed the ball wide to the on-loan Wolves striker. Griffiths drove inside before smashing past Samson at his near post.
The lines of communication from Dens Park would have informed boss Danny Lennon that Dundee were putting pressure on a Hearts side reduced to 10 men and that something more forceful was required if they were to finally put down the Dark Blues' resistance.
That extra firepower arrived in the shape of Sam Parkin as the English target man replaced John McGinn. But before he had even touched the ball, Goncalves struck to level. The Portuguese attacker had a fresh air swipe at Gary Teale's low centre but when Hibs failed to clear Steven Thompson's attempt from the loose ball, Goncalves fired past Ben Williams at the near post.
Pat Fenlon had just introduced Ross Caldwell for Eoin Doyle and the substitute striker took less than a minute to introduce himself as he struck a low drive into the corner of the net from Griffiths' assist.
But the visitors did level on 77 minutes as McGowan floated a cross to the back post which Thompson could only redirect across the area. Intentional or not, his intervention was perfect for McAusland, who looped his own header over Williams' reach and into the net. And just as news of a Dundee goal arrived at Easter Road, Saints struck again.
Teale had switched to the left-hand side but was just as effective as he picked out McAusland again, who sneaked a second header over the line. St Mirren could almost touch safety but David Wotherspoon played in Tom Taiwo in the box and the midfielder dropped a shoulder before picking out Griffiths to net again at the back post and send Paisley nerves jangling for another week.

Does Doba work? Can you really make money on Ebay?
I was finding products cheaper on froogle.com and I was definitely finding all like (and I do mean identical) products on Ebay were less expensive. I spent nearly a whole weekend going through all of the categories and comparing too. I then sent an email that I wanted to cancel. I didn't hear anything back. I was suspect, so I called. They said they would cancel and did NOT! Apparently, their TOS agreement requires that you call. If you email, they don't bother with a reply email telling you this, so beware of emailing. Your letter will get filed in a big round bucket. I was NOT given a confirmation number (my mistake to not insist!) but didn't think anything more of it. a few months later, I noticed the charges were still coming out of my bank account!! They had scammed me good. I called again to insist that the account be cancelled. I know this happens a lot because you could hear the support rep's smile as he told me he would cancel the account and was nearly doing it before I was done with my sentence! He was also quick to inform me, "Well you're problem is that you already agreed to our Terms of Service so there's nothing you can do". Seriously.. did he really just tell me that?? But again.. no confirmation number. I had to ask outright, "How do I know this gets done? I've done this before and it didn't happen. Isn't there a confirmation number?!" He then said, "I can give you one if you like". If I like?!! Why wouldn't I like?! This would have allowed me to collect the money they stole from me for the last few months. I should have been more thorough in investigating my savings account, so that fault was mine.. live and learn.. but I didn't expect Doba to steal money outright from me.
BOTTOM LINE: SHREWD, UNEHTICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES and no value in the products they offer. Don't let the slick website fool you!
FINAL THOUGHT: If they really could save you money and offer you such great deals, why do they require you to sign up (WITH a credit card) to see their prices first?
