Sorry to hear about the mailbox sneaking up on you like that
Darned things, you just can't trust them anymore.
Just waiting for the weather to smarten up so that I can maiden mine.
I don't like standing in the rain at the best of times, and be darned if I'm gonna get wet to fly...I know i'm a wussie, but you tend to get that way as you get older besides, I haven't found anything that I can put over the markings on my model to dull the finish without making the markings run yet, so it's really shiny, and likely would blind me from the glare if the sun comes out

I sneak in the odd flight between rain showers, and I wear sunglasses
Having the field in my " backyard " helps...if it looks somewhat decent in the morning, I sneak in a flight before work...if it looks good in the afternoon, I
find an excuse to go home for an hour or two...but until I figure out how to installl windshield wipers on my glasses, I'm done for wet weather flying The raindrops distort things somewhat. Added to that is the old tri-focal thingy...I think I'll get a pair of just ordinary one prescription glasses for flying....that way I'll be reasonably sure that what I'm seeing is actually what I'm looking at I know you think you understand what you thought you heard, but I'm not too sure you understand that what you thought I said isn't what I meant,. Soon the days will be getting longer, and we can get back to committing some serious avaition.
right now I have to get my " fix " in one of the barns with a small heli.....
Man life is tough...but it's good to be king

New Fuslages are available. But I suppose at 39.99 repairing the damage would make more sense.
What Kink of covering is used.
Do you know what covering is used for the Folker and SE5a. I'm so use to regular monokote that I was not perpared for its behavior when I used a iron on it. The covering does not stick very well and shrinks greatly when exposed to even a iron on 1/2 setting. I found that out when I tried to get the wrinkles out of the wing tips and found that it pull the covering off the edges.
I do not know the make of the covering - sorry!
I have learned (as you now have) with the Chinese made ARF's to try the coolest of irons before doing any shrinking. Most of them are very low temp in my experience.
Well, finally buckled down and fixed my DV tonight.
Hey, do I get the prize for the first one to "total" a DVII?
My red covering didn't match, but otherwise, it pieced back together pretty good. I'll post a pic after my new cowl comes from Tower.
I found that the covering seems to be about the same as the stuff I had lying around, but I'm not experienced in covering, so can't confirm or deny previous concerns...
Happy New Years

when I took the white covering off the aft section of mine, I replaced it with red Monokote.( because I wanted to change the colour scheme)..it went on fine...you will find that the covering on the D Vll responds better to a heat gun and a gloved hand to rub it down than it does to a sealing iron. all the wrinkles came out nicely on the rest of the model with the heat gun.
I got my fokker today that santa had ordered for me, got it home and layed all the parts out on the table to look at and noticed that the left aileron had been curled in from the outside edge, the round part that sticks out had been curled under so the balsa had been broke in it, can't imagine that it would be that hard to fix but I've never done this type of covering, only balsa coverings I've ever done is the tissue, never messed with Monokote before, any advise on fixing this would be greatly appreciated, I can only assum that I need to remove the existing covering from the aileron and try an match it with something at the hobby store???? anyone else had problems in this area, seems very fragile there, other than that model looks great. thanks, Chris

Hello! I flew my new Fokker with the recomended Rimfire 28-39-950 with a GWS 9x6 prop. The plane flew just fine but I really was not impressed with the motor's performance. Was this lack of performance due to the prop that I used? I already have an SE5a and I mounted a cheap generic 2410-12 motor and I can fly it at a little under half throttle and can get over 22 minutes of flight time flying acrobatics with a 1700mAh 3s lipo. I only got 10 minutes with the rimfire on my Fokker with the same battery. Also I noticed that after the flight the motor did not turn smoothly when I turned it manually but after a few minutes it turned smoothly again. WEIRD!!! Suggestions anyone???
Just for fun, here are some pics of a maiden flight in San Diego. My experience regarding the CG echoes others here. I'm going to set it at 2 1/4 inches behind the LE. I also knocked out the balsa battery tray and built a lower one so I could use my 3S 2100mah batteries in it. I flew it today with a 1700 mah 3S and 2oz of lead in the nose, so I know it'll handle the 2100. I've already verified it balances without the lead. 20 minute flights?
Yes, I'll be adding a pilot, soon. It looks naked without! Sure is a pretty plane, though.

CBNNews.com -- Sen. John McCain assured Iraq's prime minister during talks Monday in Baghdad of the importance of the United States' commitment to the fledgling Middle Eastern democracy.
Explosions also struck Iraq's capital city during visits by the Republican presidential nominee and Vice President Dick Cheney. No details were available on the cause of the explosions.
McCain met with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki shortly before the Iraqi leader began separate talks with Cheney. The Arizona senator arrived in Iraq Sunday. It was his eighth trip to Iraq.
Al-Maliki said he and the vice president discussed ongoing negotiations over a long-term security agreement between the two countries that would replace the U.N. mandate for foreign troops set to expire at the end of the year.
"This visit is very important. It is about the nature of the relations between the two countries, the future of those relations and the agreement in this respect," the prime minister told reporters. "We also discussed the security in Iraq, the development of the economy and reconstruction and terrorism."
Al-Qaeda's Last Urban Stronghold
McCain also said it was important to maintain the U.S. commitment in Iraq and warned that a U.S.-Iraqi military operation to clear al-Qaeda from its last urban stronghold of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, will be "very difficult and very important."
He told reporters that he also discussed with the Shiite leader the need for progress on political reforms, including laws on holding provincial elections and the equitable distribution of Iraq's oil riches.
McCain said he had reviewed the security situation in Baghdad with Iraqi officials.
He also met with Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh on Sunday and planned to meet with Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, the U.S. Embassy said.
The Arizona senator also made a trip to visit the Anbar province city of Haditha on Sunday. He bought and drank soft drinks from street vendors. He also answered questions about the U.S. presidential campaign and spoke of the recent security gains ahead of the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of the country.
Asked by one of the vendors if he would return to Iraq, McCain responded, "We'll come back if I win."
Before returning to the U.S., McCain said the tour to the Middle East and Europe was for fact-finding purposes, not a campaign photo opportunity.
Vice President in Iraq
It was Cheney's third vice presidential trip to Iraq where 160,000 American troops are currently deployed. The U.S. death toll from the Iraq War is nearing 4,000, according to a count by The Associated Press.
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad said it could not confirm reports of a rocket attack on the Green Zone after Cheney's arrival.
Three factors when added together may have caused a reduction in violence in Iraq's capital city; an influx of some 30,000 additional U.S. soldiers, a Sunni revolt against al-Qaeda and a cease-fire by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia. The U.S. military has said attacks have fallen by about 60 percent since last February.

China Says Visit Mom and Dad, or Else!Dana Rousmaniere
When was the last time you visited your own mom and dad? If it's been awhile, and if you lived in China, you could be in some serious hot water. And not just with mom and dad.
The idea that adult children should take care of their aging parents is something that's deeply ingrained in Chinese culture. Those who shirk their responsibilities are often met with scorn — and now, potentially legal consequences, according to an article in yesterday's New York Times.
Under a proposal submitted last Monday by the Civil Affairs Ministry to China's State Council, adult children would be required by law to regularly visit their elderly parents. If they do not, their parents can sue them.
The Times article cites a November report by China's National Committee on Aging, an advisory group to the State Council, which shows a major shift in China's living arrangements: Whereas once several generations shared the same dwelling, more than half of all Chinese over the age of 60 now live separately from their adult children. That percentage shoots up to 70 percent in some major cities. This increase in the numbers of elderly Chinese living apart from their children has taken a toll. China now has the world's third highest elderly suicide rate, trailing only South Korea and Taiwan. Mr. Jing Jun, a sociology professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, says that older people in China are increasingly moving into lonely high-rises and feeling forgotten. As a result, the average suicide rate among people 70 to 74 living in cities nearly tripled between 2002 and 2009, compared with the average rate for the 1990s, his research shows.
On the flipside, some Chinese parents can't seem to get away from their adult children. According to The Chinese Research Center on Aging, 3 in 10 adult Chinese remain partly or totally financially dependent on their parents. The Chinese have a name for these adult children: "kenlao zu" — literally, people who nibble on their elders.
Ninie Wang, international director of the Gerontological Society of China, a Beijing-based nonprofit research group, says "The whole society needs to start seeing that we need to give the elderly more care and attention."
Still, Mr. Jing does not believe that the proposed amendment to a 1996 law on rights of the aged will pass when it's considered by the National People's Congress, China's government-appointed legislature, during its annual session in March. "The national delegates are rational enough," Mr. Jing said.
Still, maybe it's a wake-up call for everyone who's overdue for a visit with mom and dad, no matter where you live.

I received this color free with a promotion. If it wouldn't have been free, I most likely would not have spent $12 on a simple gloss. I was nervous about it at first because of my skin tone (near the color of Kelly Rowland/ Gabrielle Union). But I love it!! The color is very opaque and lasts for a couple of hrs, however I am looking for a purple liner or lipstick to enhance it a bit more.

Of all the dozens of victims dashing Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri allegedly duped, actress Anne Hathaway fell the hardest, friends of the brunette beauty tell PEOPLE in its latest issue, on sale Friday.
After shooting to fame at 18 as a squeaky-clean Disney heroine in The Princess Diaries, Hathaway, 25, thought she had found her Prince Charming in 30-year-old Follieri, telling PEOPLE in 2006 that he was a keeper. "You can say what you want about it, but we just love each other," the actress said at the time.
Even as some friends say they warned Hathaway about Follieri, she stuck by him for months as allegations of his wrongdoing swirled. Last month, Follieri was arrested on charges of wire-fraud conspiracy and money laundering. Appearing in a Manhattan court on June 24, he was branded a "con man" by federal prosecutors, who accuse him of bilking investors of millions.
"She's a sweet girl, and he seemed like the right kind of guy," says a friend of Hathaway's. "At the end of the day, could she tell you that he was a dirty dealer? No way."
But when Hathaway learned that Follieri's charitable foundation was under investigation by the New York State attorney general for tax irregularities, the actress broke off the relationship. Says a pal: "That was the last straw."
In the aftermath, a source close to the star says her busy work schedule – last month she finished shooting the romantic comedy Bride Wars with Kate Hudson and she has been promoting her current comedy Get Smart – has been a welcome distraction.
"Anne didn't mention [the breakup], and people around her didn't ask," says the source. "She was completely blinded on this one. She loved him and so she didn't see much else until now."
For the full story, including Hathaway's first impression of Follieri and their dinner with his parents a few weeks ago, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

He was an evangelical explorer from Doylestown who, in 1908, was likely the first man to travel the 1,500-mile Ming section of China's Great Wall.
Bible in hand, he set out many times from the borough to check on missionary outposts a world away, on one trip covering 100,000 miles in four years, from Samoa to Fiji, up into Japan and Korea, along China's Yangtze River, through the Malay Peninsula and Borneo, west to India and across Africa.
His lectures were the Discovery Channel shows of his day. He enthralled audiences from London to Honolulu with tales of Pygmy tribes in African jungles and reformed cannibals in New Guinea.

Inspired by the experimental nature of Harvey Nichols latest pop up space 'Taste Lab', multidisciplinary London design practice in square lab intricately crafted a fluid wavelike chandelier using more than 540 chemistry laboratory test tubes.
'Taste Lab' is an initiative of Global Food Consulting to introduce the latest food news and trends from around the world to London, UK. Located on level 5 of Harvey Nichols food market, in square lab was commissioned to create an architectural intervention that offers visitors a sense of expectation and arrival.
With limited budget and a tight programme of three weeks from inception to completion, in square lab's approach was to move away from designing a single object and towards creating a system made up of modular elements. 21 bespoke lightweight timber frames were constructed to suspend 546 test tubes at various heights. The frames were subsequently choreographed to form a fluid surface; generating numerous crests and troughs that reflects and celebrates the activities of 'Taste Lab'.
The inherent material properties of the test tubes were maximised through the use of dimmable energy saving halogen bulbs, allowing Test Tube Chandelier to throw light in unexpected ways - synthesising its form with its function. Further research is currently underway to provide intelligence to the Test Tube Chandelier. The team aims to enhance the modularity nature of the project through integrating lighting and kinetic mechanisms; giving Test Tube Chandelier the possibility to react cybernetically with activities of 'Taste Lab' in real time.
Area: 30sqm (8.5 m long x 3.5 m wide)
Materials 546 test tubes, 12 energy saving halogen bulbs, bespoke lightweight timber structure

"Ray, I know you don't respond to readers, but what's a Catholic/Christian to do? McCain is pro-war, and Obama is pro-choice; both support death in their own way."
How does a Catholic/Christian choose between pro-war and pro-choice? I choose to be against both abortion and war. Remember the metaphor introduced by Cardinal Joseph Bernadin, that life from beginning to end is a seamless garment, like that ripped from Christ before his crucifixion. Its threads tie every moment of life into one.
We should do all we can to protect life from the womb to its last breath. In practice, Catholic social teaching, when fully understood, opposes not only abortion but the lack of affordable health care, depriving a worker of a just living wage, torture, the death penalty, pre-emptive war, inflcting civilian casualies, euthanasia, and the use of nuclear weapons.
I know that a few conservative Catholic bishops have focused on abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage as if these issues constituted the keystone of Catholic identity. I respectfully suggest they don't fully grasp the richness of the Christian social message.
What is the most effective way to reduce the number of abortions? Republicans have talked a good game but done nothing when they had the opportunity. I doubt that even an additional conservative on the Supreme Court would lead to a Roe vs. Wade reversal. A majority of Americans favor some abortion restrictions, but they don't want all abortions forbidden by law. They reject the idea that the Catholic church, representing 25 percent of the electorate, might impose its teaching on the moment when life begins on a pluralistic society. And how many Catholics favor prison for women who feel they have had to abort?
I think there may be a possibility of restricting certain abortions by law if church leaders, ecumenically, would take the challenge to really teach -- using all the modern means of communication and public education -- why restricting late-term abortions serves both the individual and public good. But teaching is hard work demanding scholarly research, time, and money. But using the denial of the Eucharist as a political weapon to tell a politician or a citizen how to vote abuses both the sacrament and the priest's authority.
Today there is mounting evidence that the best way to reduce abortions is through economic and social programs that make real "choice" -- including the power to choose life -- possible. Economic deprivation, not just sexual license, has created a society where all life, not just womb life, is considered cheap. See the just -published report by Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (www.catholicsinalliance.org) on the relationship between abortion and poverty.
Meanwhile, on war, there is a moral consensus, expressed in treaties like the Geneva Conventions, internaional law, natural law, Catholic moral theology, and secular humanism, that war -- including its consequences not just in the millions dead, crippled, blinded and spiritually crushed, plus devastated economies and refugees forced to wander the earth or starve in camps -- is the ultimate evil.
Most Americans alive today -- except those with family members in Iraq and Afghanistan or veterans of World War II, Korea or Vietnam -- know war mainly through war movies, many of which glorify it, and TV news. We are still shaking from the loss of over 2000 lives and two buildings on 9/11. But imagine that our cities had been devastated like Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Imagine that a draft calls the sons and daughters of every family, rich and poor, to Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, Pakistan, and Iran -- all likely targets for a warlike president.
I am not happy with Barack Obama's or the Democratic Party's history of support for what they call simply "the woman's right to choose," but I am pleased that the Democratic platform has for the first time proposed that the goverment should make it possible for women to choose life. The Democrats for Life Forum in Denver highlighted the proposed Pregnant Women's Support Act, and its sponsor, Senator Robert Casey, addressed the Convention.
Ultimately, their understanding of life, it seems to me, is closer to the church's social teaching, the Gospel's love of the poor, its rejection of needless violence, its quest for peace.

William E. Laur, M.D., 90, of Amarillo died Tuesday, April 20, 2010.
Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 24, 2010, in Schooler Funeral Home Brentwood Chapel, 4100 S. Georgia St.
Dr. Laur was born Nov. 17, 1919 in Saginaw, Mich., the son of Ruth Eyre Laur and Vertner Linton Laur. He married Mary Elizabeth Kirby of Beaumont on Dec. 31, 1943, in Detroit.
Dr. Laur graduated high school in Midland, Mich., in 1936 as class salutatorian. He began his premedical studies at Mercer University and earned a B.S. in 1940. He began studies concurrently at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1939 and enlisted with the U.S. Army in 1942. The Army allowed him to complete his studies under an accelerated curriculum and he graduated M.D. in February 1943. He completed a brief internship at the University of Texas Hospital at Galveston before being called to duty. It was in Galveston, where William met his future wife, Mary, marrying her prior to entering army training in 1944.
Dr. Laur served in World War II as battalion surgeon in France and Germany, earning the rank of Captain. After leaving the military in 1946, Dr. Laur began his training in dermatology at Wayne University Medical School. He earned a M.S. in medicine for his research work in 1949. Shortly thereafter, he passed the examination for the American Board of Dermatology and moved with his family to Amarillo, where he began a private practice. In 1973 he founded High Plains Dermatology Center, currently the largest dermatology clinic in the Texas Panhandle. Dr. Laur retired in 1990, concluding a 40-year medical practice.
During his career, Dr. Laur published many papers in peer-reviewed medical journals, served as consultant for the U.S. Air Force and the Veteran's Administration, and instructed medical students and residents at Texas Tech Medical Center in Amarillo. In 1957, he was the designated director of Amarillo Moonwatch, an organization working with the Air Force division to aid in preliminary tracking of the first artificial satellite, the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1. He was elected and served one term as president of the Potter-Randall County Medical Society in 1964, and served as chairman of the Potter-Randall Citizens Health Council in 1965. For this service he received a commendation award from the Potter-Randall Citizens Committee. In May 1980, Dr. Laur and his colleagues were invited by the Chinese minister of health to conduct a lecture tour of China on various medical diagnostic topics, including dermatology. Later that year, Dr. Laur was also invited to conduct similar lectures in the Soviet Union.
Dr. Laur was a member of the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Association, the Potter-Randall County Medical Society, the American Academy of Dermatology, the Texas Dermatological Society, the Noah Worcester Dermatology Society, the Victor Vaughan Medical Historical Society, the Alpha Chi Honor Society and member emeritus of the medical staff of BSA and Northwest Texas hospitals in Amarillo. He was a life member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
William and his wife Mary were enthusiastic and frequent world travelers, visiting many unique places on six continents. He was an avid supporter of fine arts and with his wife supported the Amarillo Symphony and participated in theater productions at Amarillo Little Theatre and West Texas A&M University. He enjoyed playing duplicate bridge, writing, computer activities, and was an accomplished amateur chef. He was a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and a lifelong Episcopalian.
Dr. Laur is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary Elizabeth of Amarillo; son, Eric of Amarillo; son, Edward and wife Marla of Amarillo; son, John and wife Frances of Albuquerque, N.M.; son, Mike and wife Shelley of Manitou Springs, Colo.; granddaughter, Gail Laur of Tulsa, Okla.; grandson, Johnathan Laur and wife Tiffany of Amarillo; grandson, Austen Laur and wife Alexa Singer Laur of Tulsa; grandson, Casey Laur of Kansas City; grandson, Jason McDuffie of Tulsa; grandson, Seth Price of Albequerque, NM; and five great-grandchildren, Zoe Zamora, Phoebe Laur, Piper Laur, Charlotte Laur and Jasen McDuffie.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to Post-Polio Health International www.post-polio.org/.

MUSKEGON, MI -- It may be too late for the sun and the sand, but there's still plenty to do now that summer is over. Here are few things to look forward to in the upcoming month in the Muskegon area.
1 – Fall colors
Watch the leaves turn from green to bright golds and reds as the weather cools. While there are a number of places to appreciate the fall colors, the Muskegon County Convention and Visitors' Bureau and the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce will host the eighth annual Depot to Depot Fall Color Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 5, 12 and 19.
The self-guided tour runs between the Muskegon Union Depot, which houses the CVB, and the Train Depot, where the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce is located. Visitors can start the tour at either site and drive or bike the route.
For more information, contact the CVB at (231) 724-3100 or the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce at (231) 893-4585.
2 – Halloween fun
With a combination of costumes, jack-o-lanterns and candy, Halloween brings plenty of fun to the autumn season. Area residents and visitors can celebrate through a few different annual attractions.
Those who enjoy a thrill can stop by Wicked Ranch, which is made up of two haunted houses and a haunted hay ride on the Double JJ Ranch grounds. Wicked Ranch is open every Friday and Saturday from Sept. 27 to Oct. 26.

Polymersomes that shed their poly(ethylene glycol) shell have been developed by scientists at Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
The polymersomes are formed from block copolymers of polybutadiene-b-poly(ethylene glycol) coupled via an acid sensitive hydrazone moiety. The team found that the minimum amount of surface PEGylation needed to retain stable polymersomes was as low as five percent.

We dig into Sundance 2012 with hard-hitting docs and a serious Tim and Eric
Even as we begin to wrap up 2011, we begin the adventure for 2012 with today's announcements of the first wave of titles for next year's Sundance Film Festival. I'm in the middle of running down my last few films for this year, and I'm focused on just making it to December 9th, when my year is sort of officially over. The reward for all of this work?
A blank slate, and as of today, I get to start figuring out what my January looks like.
This afternoon, the Sundance Institute released the line-ups for several of the sections of this year's festival, including the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions. Our team has already published the full line-up as announced, section by section, and you can see those here and here and here. HitFix will be in Park CIty to cover the festival of course, starting with the kickoff of January 19th, and I'm already overwhelmed just based on this early list of things.
Sundance says they've chosen 110 feature-length films from 31 countries, with 46 first-time directors in the mix. We'll get a look at some of the more adventurous sections of the festival, like NEXT, New Frontier, and of course Park City At Midnight tomorrow, and I'm sure many of my immediate must-sees will come from those lists. For now, though, let's look at the sections they have announced:
Did you see the teaser trailer for Tim and Eric's "Billion Dollar Movie" today? Freakshow. As expected. What I did not know is that they also starred in a film called "The Comedy," and it looks like that's playing in the Dramatic Competition, which is enough to make me sit up and take notice immediately. Especially with this as a synopsis: "Indifferent even to the prospects of inheriting his father's estate, Swanson whiles away his days with a group of aging Brooklyn hipsters, engaging in small acts of recreational cruelty and pacified boredom." Okay. I'm in. I'm unfamiliar with Rick Alverson, but that description and that cast has me hooked.
I'm very curious to see what Mark Webber's done as a writer/director. I met Mark on the set of "Scott Pilgrim," and he struck me as a very ambitious guy, someone who had much more to offer than "just" acting. It look like he's called in some friends for help on "The End Of Love," which is about a young man dealing with fatherhood when the mother of his young child dies. Shannyn Sossamon, Jason Ritter, Amanda Seyfried, and Scott Pilgrim himself, Michael Cera, are all part of the film as well.
Is Jonathan Kasdan another one of those Kasdans? Wouldn't shock me at all. He's the writer/director of "The First Time," which sounds like a sort of "Before Sunrise" for high school kids who meet at a party and spend a long weekend falling in love. I don't recognize anyone in the cast by name, but that's fine. Something like this needs to be really special to stand out from a million other loosely similar films, and I'm curious to see what it is.
So Yong Kim's "For Ellen" sounds like it could be powerful, a look at a musician on an overnight drive to confront his estranged wife about custody of their daughter, and with Paul Dano and Jena Malone onboard, I've got high hopes.
The same is true of "Hello I Must Be Going," from director Todd Louiso, which is about a woman in her 30s who moves back in with her parents, defeated by life, only to meet a teenage boy whose "attention" changes things for her. If Melanie Lynskey is playing the lead, that's exciting. I've always felt that she's just as interesting as her "Heavenly Creatures" co-star Kate Winslet, but a totally different type and perhaps a little harder to write for. This is a really interesting set-up, and I'm going to do my best to see it.
Ry Russo-Young's "Nobody Walks" is co-written by Lena Dunham, meaning there will be much attention focused on the film that stars John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, and Justin Kirk. Dunham's fans and detractors both have been waiting to see what she'd do after the success of "Tiny Furniture," and this is the story of an artist from New York who stays with a family in LA for a week, with her presence evidently setting off a whole slew of fireworks within that family dynamic.
I don't know Colin Trevorrow or Derek Connolly, but their film "Safety Not Guaranteed" sounds great. "A trio of magazine employees investigate a classified ad seeking a partner for time travel." With Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza onboard, you don't really need to tell me anything else. I'm there.
Modern weddings are one of the most intense experiences anyone can survive, so it's no surprise filmmakers continue to use them as the jumping off point for drama each year, and "Save The Date" by Michael Mohan sounds like a solid riff, especially with a cast that includes Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, Martin Starr, Geoffrey Arend, and Mark Webber, who sounds like he's going to be very busy at the festival this year.
Another "Scott Pilgrim" cast member will be stretching with "Smashed," a love story about a couple whose bond is built around everything they share, including a love of drinking. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Aaron Paul, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman, and Megan Mullally star, which sounds like an outrageously good cast to me.
And finally, it wouldn't be Sundance without John Hawkes being in something, and "The Surrogate" sounds like a winner. Ben Lewin's film is about a 36-year-old virgin with an iron lung who decides to hire a professional sex surrogate to help him finally make an important step into manhood, and Helen Hunt and William H. Macy co-star.
And that's just the U.S. Dramatic Competition. This gets overwhelming quickly because I feel like I'm at a buffet running out of room on my plate and I haven't even made it past the salad bar yet.
I know our own Dan Fienberg looks forward to the documentaries each year, but he's not alone. I'd still say one of the best experiences I had in a theater all year was at "Project NIM," one of the first films I saw in 2011 at the opening night of Sundance this year. Non-fiction films are an important part of my moviegoing diet, so I'm just as excited to see what's on this list.
Issue films are a major part of the documentary programming, and something like "The Atomic States Of America" or "Chasing Ice" sound like strong ways into a dialogue about the viability of nuclear power or the effects of climate change. I like the idea of director Jeff Orlowski using time-lapse photography to look at the way glaciers are changing, because that's going to be pretty hard to argue with as a visual document.
Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady are really strong documentarians, and "DETROPIA," their new film, uses the collapse of Detroit as a portrait of where we are in America right now, which could be a very hard mirror to stare into for two hours. Likewise, "ESCAPE FIRE," which deals with the broken American healthcare system, could be one of those films that deals in hard truth but is almost too painful to watch for those of us on the front lines of that struggle. And Eugene Jarecki's tackling one of the issues that I feel really defines us in the wrong ways these days, the effects of America's War on Drugs and the absolute failure of those policies for the last 40 years, which could make "The House I Live In" one of the more incendiary titles this year.
Kirby Dick, easily one of the most significant guys working in documentary today, is tackling a difficult subject in "The Invisible War," which looks at the way rape is covered up and dealt with inside the US military, and I can't imagine that's going to be easy to sit through. One of the keys to tackling subject matter like this is finding some light in the darkness, and "How To Survive A Plague" by David France is a good example, a movie about how AIDS went from a death sentence to something people can manage for decades.
In addition to the issue-driven docs, we'll also see several personality-driven ones, including "Marina Abramaovic The Artist Is Present" and "ME At The ZOO," a film about Internet meme Chris Crocker. There's a documentary about the Lithuanian National Basketball Team at the '92 Olympics, as well as a look at the openly gay Bishop of New Hampshire and his struggles between faith and desire. The housing collapse is documented in "The Queen Of Versailles," which sounds like a bit of a horror film about a young couple who were in the middle of construction on a house when things fell apart, and in case we aren't quite clear yet on how bad things can get, "Slavery By Another Name" should be a lovely look at what happened after the Emancipation Proclamation, while "We're Not Broke" seems to be a look at how corporations are still gaming the system even after everything started to fall apart.
With this section, I find that it often pays to just take a chance and sample things that might not be first on the list, because there are so many gems here that don't have the benefit of recognizable stars.
"4 Suns" is a Czech film about a guy trying to live up to the responsibilities of being a father and a husband and struggling with those roles, which means I'll probably have to watch the whole thing with one hand over my eyes, on edge if its hits too close to home. "About The Pink Sky" is a Japanese film about a girl who finds a wallet full of money which she returns to the rightful owner, and I'm curious to see where that decision takes her and her friends. Greece has been center stage in international headlines recently, and their film industry is starting to turn out some really provocative work these days, and "L" is the story of a man caught up in the struggle between motorcycles and cars from the perspective of a man who actually lives in his car.
The Czechs aren't the only ones struggling with family-related issues. Both Turkey, with "Can," and Brazil with "Father's Chair," are sending family-driven dramas to the festival this year. I love that Argentina's entry is about an Elvis impersonator with reality issues, and I'm pretty dedicated to seeing "The Last Elvis," just as I'm itching to see "Teddy Bear," a Danish film about a painfully shy 38 year old bodybuilder who leaves the safety of his mother's home to go to Thailand in search of love. These are films I can't see anyone in America making, and that's what makes them exciting. The UK film "My Brother The Devil" is part of a long tradition of English crime films, while "Wish You Were Here" sounds like a tense Australian thriller, something they traditionally do very well. The last few years have been particularly strong for Chilean cinema, so both "Violeta Went To Heaven" and "Young & Wild" are automatically on my radar.
But there's one title out of the entire international section that is first priority, and that's "WRONG," the new film from Quentin Dupieux, whose last film "Rubber" was such a wonderful, surreal surprise, and I'm sure the search for a lost dog is going to be anything but normal in his hands.
Check out the trailer and you'll see what I mean:

God, that looks good.
With the state of the world today, is it any wonder there seems to be a glut of intriguing documentaries rolling in from all over the globe? "1/2 Revolution" is a Danish film but deals with the Egyptian revolution and the journey of two filmmakers who were arrested as they tried to document it. Meanwhile, "5 Broken Cameras" is a co-production between Palestine, Israel, and France, and deals with what happens when a separation barrier is built in a Palestinian village where a journalist and his son live. It's important to see how other countries handle the media in a time of change, since we seem to love to tell people how to do it right even as we stifle a free press here in America, and I would think there are some important lessons contained in these movies this year. For example, "BIG BOYS ONE BANANAS!" is a follow-up to a documentary about the Dole fruit company which resulted in some major legal battles and some real insight into just how broken the freedom of the press really is right now.
I think "The Ambassador" sounds amazing, the story of "what happens when a very white European man buys his way into being a diplomat in one of Central Africa's most failed nations." Yes. Yes. Yes. Movies like this offer a micro view that can make some very macro points about the world right now, like "China Heavyweight," a film about boxing in China and the way individuals play their part in a larger system they may not agree with. It sounds like many of these movies are about a struggle to find a personal identity on a larger national stage, like "Putin's Kiss," which deals with a 19-year-old girl's journey within a Russian youth movement, or "Gypsy Davy," about a white boy from Alabama who wants to be a Flamenco guitarist, or "The Law In These Parts," which looks at the Israeli military legal system in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which is pretty much the definition of tension and conflict.
I love it when a documentary is built around a real-life mystery, and "The Imposter" sounds riveting, the story of a 13 year old who vanished from Texas in 1994, only to show up almost four years later in Spain, telling a story of kidnap and torture that may or may not be true. Not everyone wants to sit through something that heavy each time out, though, and "Indie Game: The Movie" paints a picture of the world of game development outside the system right now, which could make for a great underdog story, while "Searching For Sugar Man" is a look at a forgotten musician who almost made it big in the '70s before dropping off the face of the Earth.
Will I see everything I picked here today? Not at the festival. Will I see things I didn't put on this list? Absolutely. This is just a first reaction to an announcement, and you can see why it's both a great way to start the film year and also sort of a reminder that film never really takes a break. You're never really "done" watching movies, because just as soon as you catch up, you can expect a new flood of things worth seeing. There's no better way to kick off the year than with the feast that Sundance lays out, and it looks like this year's going to be an interesting one.
Make sure to check back tomorrow for our look at the next batch of announcements, and join us in January when all of Team HitFIx will be live in Park City to make sure you've got a front-row seat for the fest yourself.

As the 2012-2013 season approaches, every team is looking forward to lacing up their skates and tweaking their blades as they begin their push to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This article will explore those teams who can save themselves a ton of pain and frustration by recognizing that their playoff dreams are a total fallacy.
The eight teams in this article will not make the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a variety of reasons. Some don't have the offensive firepower, some need a better, more determined effort on the defensive end.
Some of these teams are too young and inexperienced while others may be getting a little long in the tooth with their key players best years being behind them.
Some need some serious goaltending help while others might benefit from a change in leadership.
Whatever the reason may be, the following teams will be better served making their tee times ahead of the beginning of the Playoffs because their season will be over long before April.

Peter Berg, the creator of the "Friday Night Lights" television series and movie, has sent Mitt Romney a scathing letter demanding the Republican candidate cease use of the show's "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" slogan.
In the letter, which was obtained exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, Berg writes that "the only relevant comparison I see between your campaign and 'Friday Night Lights' is in the character of Buddy Garrity — who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan."
In noting that the "politics and campaign" of the Romney ticket "are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series," Berg echoed a similar rebuke aimed at Paul Ryan by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. In August, Morello wrote an op-ed denouncing Ryan, who he cited as "the embodiment of the machine our music rages against."
Mitt Romney has been using the "Friday Night Lights" slogan in speeches. Ann Romney has also made use of the inspirational motto, which figures prominently in the series. The Huffington Post has reached out to Romney's campaign and will update this post if we receive comment.
While Berg — who came up with the phrase — is quick to rebuke the Romneys, the author of the book the series and movie are based on recently endorsed the candidate in an column posted by The Daily Beast. Buzz Bissinger wrote that Barack Obama's poor debate performance and what Bissinger sees as Romney's emerging, moderate platform led him to make that decision.
In a follow-up piece, Bissinger says he has been vilified by the "liberal media" and his own friends, some of whom he believes he'll never feel the same about.
