Sylvia Day's Crossfire series has sold millions of copies, and has generated an astounding cross-over following. Recently it was reported that the series was optioned for television by Lionsgate, and the world rejoiced! But—what actors will best portray the Crossfire drama onscreen? Well, we've got some suggestions right here.
In Bared to You, the first book of the series, we meet Eva Trammell, a feisty, hardworking ad assistant and Gideon Cross, a young alpha billionaire who wants to make Eva his. They are both victims of sexual abuse, and despite their baggage, they strive to make a healthy relationship work. There are a lot of supporting players in the series, and they influence the (in)sanity of Gideon and Eva.
The Main Players
Gideon Cross
Stephen Amell
Age: 32
Nationality: Canadian
Known for: Arrow on the CW
The internets have decided that Henry Cavill is the perfect Gideon. He definitely has the look, and even Sylvia Day said that she would be thrilled to have him (or Ian Somerhalder). But it seems it would be smart to avoid the turmoil of the FSoG casting debacle, and introduce an alternative to Henry and Ian since there will actually be a Crossfire series and I'm willing to bet that Henry will be too busy being Superman to sign on. Enter Stephen Amell.
Gideon is rich, sexy, alpha, athletic, disciplined, aristocratic, and did I mention sexy? He can be cold, calculating, and aloof, but when he meets Eva, all of his inner discipline flies out the window—and is there anything hotter than seeing a man who never loses control lose it over you?
Stephen looks fantastic in a suit and he looks phenomenal outside of one. He knows how to play a billionaire playboy or a stone cold disciplined man, since he is already doing that on Arrow. The man is hot and as Gideon, he can bring the sexy intensity that the role (and Eva) deserves. He is Ace personified.
Eva Trammell
Alexa Vega
Age: 25
Nationality: American
Known For: Spy Kids, Machete Kills
A few years back, Sylvia Day said that Scarlett Johannson would make a great Eva, because she has curves and knows how to use them. I think that Alexa Vega would make a fantastic Eva; they have a lot in common:
Eva is feisty, has curves that won't stop, and has lived a lot of life. Alexa is a curvy but petite former child star all grown up—and has lived a lot of life herself, as proved with a recent divorce. Eva's father is Latino and her mother is a beautiful blonde bombshell. Alexa's father is Latino and her mother is a former model (also blonde!)
Eva has been through a lot, and she is finally at a good, calm place in her life when Gideon Cross shows up in her life and begins to pursue her. She loves her new job, loves living with her best friend, Cary, and eventually loves Gideon Cross. Alexa brings a hot, sexy fierceness to Eva that would translate seamlessly from book to screen. Give her some contacts, and she is the perfect Angel.
Cary Taylor
Alex Pettyfer
Age: 23
Nationality: English
Known For: Magic Mike, Beastly
Cary Taylor is Eva's best friend and the other dark haired man in her life. They bonded in group therapy together as teens, and have been inseparable ever since. Cary is bi, and for him that means he needs men and women in his life. Finding lovers isn't a problem; Cary is beautiful and is a model with a rapidly rising career. Lovers may come and go, but no one gets between him and his baby girl Eva.
As a former model, Alex Pettyfer is used to dealing with fluid sexuality, and in Magic Mike we found out he definitely isn't shy about experimenting. Alex is beautiful and talented and would do Cary justice—as well as make a lot of women and men happy in the process.
Monica Trammell...Stanton
Maria Bello
Age: 46
Nationality: American
Known For: Touch, A History of Violence
Monica Stanton grew up with money, and needs money to feel secure. She has three marriages under her belt, but before she got there, a young Monica met Victor Reyes. Theirs was a short and apparently fiery relationship; she walked away from him to get more security, but he wouldn't let her completely keep him out of Eva's life. Monica is a little unhinged, okay, a lot unhinged, and still manages to wrap men around her finger. She desperately wants Eva to be safe—despite the fact that she is an adult, Monica still feels guilty for things that happened to a preteen Eva on Monica's watch.
Maria Bello is beautiful and brings some serious acting chops to the table. She has gone up against Viggo Mortensen (talk about your alpha yum) and Kiefer Sutherland (another one I wouldn't kick out of bed) so she can handle herself as Monica Stanton of the many last names. Maria Bello also has the duality needed in playing a slightly crazy but it's eccentric when you have money/single mom with the skill to bag a rich man (or three.)
Victor Reyes
Esai Morales
Age: 51
Nationality: American
Known For: La Bamba, Caprica
Victor Reyes is still a bachelor after all these years. We don't know much about his relationship with Monica Stanton, but whatever happened, he has unconditional love for his daughter Eva. They speak on the phone weekly, and as a cop, he is sharp and quick-traits he has tried to pass on to Eva.
Esai Morales has been around (and good looking) for a long time. We know that Victor keeps himself in shape, and it looks like Esai does, too. In his younger years, Esai played bad boys, but as he got older, he moved over to the right side of the law and is currently in a recurring role as a section chief in Criminal Minds. Victor was a young man from the wrong side of the tracks that wanted to make it work with rich young socialite, but she left him. I think Esai is a perfect fit.
Richard Stanton
John Larroquette
Age: 65
Nationality: American
Known For: Night Court, Deception
Richard Stanton is a powerful man with lots of money and connections, but he is an enabler when it comes to his wife Monica. He aids and abets in all of her foolishness and over the top behavior because at the end of the day, he wants her by his side, and he will use all of his resources to keep her happy. For his Monica, money is helps him make her feel secure, and he will use to pay for a ridiculously expensive condo in Manhattan for Eva and Cary, or pay off the world to keep the secret shame of Monica and Eva's lives from getting out.
John Larroquette is a pro, and I don't think I have ever seen him out of a suit. He has the cunning to play a big-time millionaire and in his older age, the softness to play a man dedicated to his wife, by any means necessary.
Elizabeth Vidal
Monica Bellucci
Age: 49
Nationality: Italian
Known For: The Matrix franchise, Shoot 'Em Up
Elizabeth Vidal seems like a woman with a similar background to Monica Stanton; she came from money and married into money. Her marriage to Gideon's father ended in scandal when he committed suicide after swindling investors out of millions of dollars. She rebounded with the handsome and rich Christopher Vidal, and had 2 more children, Christopher, Jr. and Ireland. She is estranged from her oldest son Gideon because she didn't believe his claims of abuse.
Monica Bellucci is ridiculously beautiful—a perfect fit, as we know that Gideon gets his dark features from his mother. Monica has had a successful Hollywood career, but is better known in her native Italy. She brings a cultured, sultry appeal to Elizabeth, who has some hard edges as well. This picture is from May 2013. Can you believe she is almost 50? Eat your hearts out, "real housewives".
Christopher Vidal, Sr.
Tony Curran
Age: 43
Nationality: Scottish
Known For: Underworld series, Defiance
Christopher Vidal, Sr. is a record mogul with an incredibly beautiful wife, a troubled step-son, an evil son, and a sullen teen daughter. He is dedicated to family, and truly loves Gideon—he laments that Gideon isn't around more often, as it would make his wife incredibly happy. He is in partnership with Gideon—technically, Gideon owns controlling interest in Vidal Records—but he doesn't seem to begrudge him that. Jr., on the other hand does. A lot.
Tony Curran is an accomplished actor with a long resume; rarely do i see him in contemporary clothing. I would love to. Or out of clothes. That works, too.
The Siblings
Christopher Vidal, Jr.
Max Irons
Age: 28
Nationality: English
Known For: The Host, The White Queen
Christopher Vidal, Jr. is eaten up with jealousy over his brother Gideon. We find out in the book exactly how much he dislikes his brother, and the lengths he would go to in order to betray him. Somewhere in that grinchy little heart, he does have love for his little sister, Ireland, so...that's something.
Max Irons is hot, but reminds us enough of his father Jeremy to have inherited some of that villainous flair. The Vidal Records picnic scene? I want to see Max Irons do that, stat!
Ireland Vidal
Elizabeth Gillies
Age: 20
Nationality: American
Known For: Victorious
Ireland Vidal grew up in the shadow of the music industry, so she has a lot of random musical knowledge. She also idolizes her oldest brother, Gideon, but is probably closer to her second oldest brother, Christopher. She knows they don't get along, but she wishes they would.
Elizabeth Gillies is knows how to play a teen; she played one on Nickelodeon during her teen years. With her background in music, she could nail this.
The Workplace
Mark Garrity
Lance Gross
Age: 32
Nationality: American
Known For: Steel Magnolias (2012), Tyler Perry everything
Mark Garrity is Eva's very sweet boss. He is handsome, smart, and according to Gideon, very lucky that he is gay.
Lance is hot, seemingly sweet, and apparently straight, but his experience in the drama-filled Tyler Perry universe tells me he shouldn't have a problem playing gay.
Brenda Song
Age: 25
Nationality: American
Known For: The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, The Social Network
Megumi is a happy-go-lucky front desk admin with whom Eva gets close. She has a small part, but Megumi steals all of the scenes she is in!
If you have seen Brenda Song as David Rosen's assistant on Scandal, you know she is a scene stealer. This one is a no-brainer!
The Lovers
Magdalene Perez
Odette Annable
Age: 28
Nationality: American
Known For: House, Cloverfield (as Odette Yustman)
Magdalene Perez is biding her time, waiting for Gideon to seal the deal on their relationship. He never sleeps with the women he actually dates, and Mags has been on his arm at many events, knows Gideon inside and out, and is in love with him. She will do whatever it takes to get him, even if it is imitating his ex-girlfriend's look or cutting down the new blonde competition.
Odette Annable is a beautiful actress who is no stranger to drama; she ran from aliens in Cloverfield and went toe-to-toe weekly with our favorite doctor on House. She can handle it.
Corrine Giroux:
Jessica Findlay Brown
Age: 24
Nationality: English, British
Known For: Downton Abbey
Corrine Giroux is the standard by which all of Gideon Cross's lovers have been judged—-beautiful brunettes with long hair and international allure. Corrine is married and should be in France with her husband, but then she comes back...and Eva is not having it.
I don't even have much to say about Jessica Findlay Brown except that, in this picture especially, she looks like her name is Corrine Giroux. Enough said.
Steven Ellison
Seth Fornea
Age: 31
Nationality: American
Known For: Modeling
Steven Ellison is Mark Garrity's longtime partner who owns a contracting business. He is described as a tall drink of water, ginger style. Seth Fornea doesn't have any acting experience, but I think he fits the bill. He also didn't have many pictures of him in clothes, so I didn't even try. You're welcome.
Chris Colfer
Age: 23
Nationality: American
Known For: Glee
Trey is the male love interest of Cary Taylor. He is gay and has a hard time dealing with Cary's bisexuality, but has fallen in love with him despite it. They met on a set—Trey was a photographer's assistant to fund his true love, veterinary school.
Chris Colfer is a perfect match for this role—he is an out and proud actor and hot enough to catch Cary's attention, but not too pretty; we don't want Cary to get jealous.
Miley Cyrus
Age: 23
Nationality: American
Known For: Fuckery
Tatiana is the female love interest in Cary's tangled web. Paz de la Huerta is too old, so I think this one is self explanatory.
Last But Not Least
Ed Harris
Liam Cunningham
Parker Smith
Ricky Whittle
Shawna Ellison
Rachel Hurd-Wood
Dr. Peterson
Peter Gallagher
Dr. Terrence Lucas
Gary Oldman

Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) patients experience recurrent episodes of swelling in the hands, feet, face, gastrointestinal tract, genitals, and larynx (throat) that can last from two to five days. The frequency of and severity of attacks varies dramatically among patients, and even among those within the same kindred.
A survey of HAE patients in Italy (over 500 identified and followed) revealed that slightly less than one half of untreated patients have more than one attack per month, and forty percent have 6 to 11 swellings per year.
HAE-related swelling is non-whealing and non-pruritic with ill-defined margins, and generally remains unrelieved by antihistamines and corticosteroids. About 25% of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) patients experience a non-pruritic erythematous rash (prodrome) that often occurs during the attack.
Symptoms of HAE
Swelling involving the feet and hands is extremely uncomfortable, and often prevents patients from being able to participate in normal daily routines.
Gastrointestinal attacks produce excruciating abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by swelling in the intestinal wall. This symptom is a distinguishing feature of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) because abdominal pain is rarely seen in other types of angioedema. Hypovolemia can occur from a combination of fluid loss, plasma extravasation, and vasodilation, and can progress into hypovolemic shock.
Approximately one third of patients with undiagnosed Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) undergo unnecessary surgery during abdominal attacks because the symptoms mimic a surgical emergency.
Laryngeal edema is the most significant feature of HAE, because swelling can close the airway and cause death by asphyxiation. Studies of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) families indicate that, without treatment, death from laryngeal edema could be as high as 30 percent of those affected by the disease. Surveys of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) patients reveal that approximately 50 percent experienced at least one laryngeal episode in their lives. A study by German investigators that focused exclusively on airway attacks in 123 patients revealed that nearly 80% of the laryngeal edemas occurred between the ages of 11 and 45 years, and the mean interval between onset and maximum development of laryngeal edema was 8.3 hours. Nevertheless, laryngeal edema must be treated as a medical emergency, and patients should to seek prompt treatment as soon as throat involvement is suspected.

Partisan opposition to Libertarianism
Last edited Tue Jan 24, 2012, 05:37 PM - Edit history (1)
There has never been a partisan reaction to libertarianism because libertarianism is irrelevant and outside the polarized axis of our domestic politics.
It makes a lot of sense to oppose the republican party. (Using "oppose" to mean polar policy opposition, not strive against, though it is also sensible to strive against the republican party.)
But if a person diametrically opposes Libertarianism that person is not a liberal, that person is an authoritarian -- someone who supports state infringement of liberties as an independent good. Libertarianism is mistaken... it is a thing with which sensible people disagree.
(As a poster notes below, there are speciffic tenets of libertarain thought that one can sensibly oppose diametrically. Opposing tenets in a rigorous philosophical sense will not, however, lead to reflexive partisan gainsaying of the opposition any more than me thinking the state has a role in the economy makes me a Stalinist. Also, if we treat libertarianism as an isolated economic theory then it is opposed by communism or anarchism on a distinct economic axis. But for purposes of this OP, I am thinking primarily about the authority axis.)
There is no need to apologize for agreeing with libertarians about some things. (As has become the mode.) Everyone short of Mussolini agrees with libertarians about some things. And everyone who has given much thought to government in the real world disagrees with libertarians about a lot of things.
Libertarianism is impractical. The current American variant of it is bizarre and distasteful. No serious person supports the libertarian platform as actual governance. And most American libertarians have a screw loose.
But to use the usual mode of polar partisan two-party political opposition ("Whatever they're for, I'm against" outside its sensible boundaries leads to madness.
Unless one wants to become a reflexive authoritarian.

1. I oppose Libertarianism, and I am NOT an authoritarian
A fundamental principle of Liberatarianism is "non-coercion".
Private wealth = private power.
A person without wealth is coerced, of necessity, to do the bidding of those with wealth.
This creates an asymmetry of power in regards to employment negotiations.
Any contract (like accepting a job) entered into when one party is in distress (such as being one payment away from being foreclosed on) and the other party is not (business goes on with an open position) is a:
Contract of Adhesion
Economic coercion is the hidden coercion that Libertarians don't see.
Economic coercion has had a far greater impact on the overall course of my life, and the life of everyone I know, than any kind of government regulation.

I don't see how one can be and not be an authoritarian, the state is supreme and the individual largely irrelevant in such a world.

4. because I see the Corporation/Big Money as supreme and the state is merely a tool
Either the state serves the interests of private wealth and power (they benefit from no action, also) ...
or people use the state as a means - the only means available to them - to rein in the influence of private power.
A private company is ALWAYS an authoritarian totalitarian dictatorship. Employees cannot democratically vote to change the way things are done. They cannot vote out their CEO. They have NO say in the running of the company.
At least with the state, there is a possibility of democracy Citizens of a state CAN vote democratically and shape the direction of the state.
I used to be a Libertarian, and still admire the spirit of libertarianism, but I think there is a fatal flaw in the logic (the failure to see the reality of economic coercion, the source of coercion (private power), and the means to resist coercion (the state).
Either that or the ideology was created by wealthy powerful people to create the illusion of absolute freedom while dismantling the only means to freedom for those who were not born into wealth.

6. In argument with libertarians
I usually ask to see their contract with the indians whose land they occupy.
Any system that favors the guy with the most chips at the start of the game mocks liberty at some breaking point or another.
(In a fantastic political philosophy contest I might be a libertarian leveler. Have all the fun you want with the game-pieces but you don't get to keep them.)
I agree with you about the fantastic nature of individual economic autonomy by fiat when that autonomy does not, and will not exist in the real world.
And as an atheist I reject any idea that there is any higher justice served by bad outcomes. (If people don't think it is fair then we have exhausted the range of entities whose opinion I care about.)

if someone does not have a system of contract law and a concept of private ownership, and they are not using something, it is OK to take it from them.

3. And you are also probably not a blind partisan.
I agree with what you write here, and I agree that an oppositional mode is sensible when one pares a thing down to something philosophically stringent enough to sensibly take an opposite view.
But you are primarily disagreeing with my choice of usage of the word "oppose" which is, in the OP, meant to stand for partisan opposition of the reflexive gain saying variety.
If your opposition took the form of gainsaying whatever a libertarain says you would end up with a senseless authoritaraian mirror-view.
You are obviously a person of political sophistication and probably do not use an automatic reactionary partisan frame-work for much of anything.

7. Libertarianism sounds nice but...
Unfortunately it falls apart when put to the test of human nature like most other political theories. The fact is it is in human nature to have some people who want to be dominant over others and to have social structures. We see it in nature all the time. We need a little more interference with the natural order in order to bring about equality, but it goes a bit deeper than any single large bureaucratic organization like government can deal with. I think we need more independent organizations around to keep government in check while it keeps the more rowdy individuals in check.

9. Suppose this:
A black man walks into a restaurant, sits down, and asks for a sandwich. The owner walks up and demands that he leave because this restaurant doesn't serve people like him. The black man refuses saying that this is a violation of his civil rights. The restaurant owner explains that his staying is in violation of the owner's property rights. Having reached an impasse, the restaurant owner calls the police who arrive and have to deal with the situation.
What does a liberal expect that an officer of the law will do in this situation?
What does a libertarian expect that an officer of the law will do in this situation?
When this leads to a legal battle, what does the liberal suggest the outcome should be? What about the libertarian?
I don't see why I shouldn't consider myself diametrically opposed to a political philosophy that categorically rejects the notion of positive liberty. A political philosophy that considers everything else subordinate to property rights is a very evil thing, even if they do allow one to smoke lots of dope.

The new year is proving a tough ride for Comcast's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) NBC broadcast network.
Ratings during the critical February sweeps period have fallen sharply for the Peacock Network, which looks to finish the month, far out of the top three, falling behind even Spanish-language network Univision to fifth place among adults aged 18 to 49, Deadline.com notes.
Since the beginning of sweeps, NBC has averaged a 1.2 rating in the critical demographic, compared to an average rating of 1.5 for Univision. Univision beat CBS (NYSE:CBS) during sweeps months in 2010 and 2012, but it has never eclipsed NBC before.
So far this month, CBS is the ratings king among broadcast networks, averaging a 4.9 rating in the key adult demographic. Fox comes in second with a 2.0 rating, followed by ABC with 1.7.
It's a change of Fortune for NBC, which seemed to have reversed years of lackluster ratings by winning the November sweeps with a slate of popular news shows. It recent efforts haven't been so lucky. Do No Harm was yanked from the schedule after just two airings, and the return of sophomore show Smash saw its ratings crater 71% from its first season premiere.
Earlier this month, Comcast purchased General Electric's (NYSE:GE) remaining minority interest in NBCUniversal for $16.7 billion.
Shares of Comcast rose fractionally in pre-market trading on Friday.

The Browns have traded receiver Braylon Edwards to the Jets for a package of players.
Cleveland will receive WR Chansi Stuckey, LB Jason Trusnik and undisclosed draft picks from New York.
Former Jets and Chiefs coach Herm Edwards, now an ESPN analyst, said the acquisition could benefit Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez.
"Now all of a sudden Sanchez has a guy who can play outside the numbers, a guy that is big and physical that can catch the ball when he's contested," Edwards said on the network this morning.
The trade comes just two days after a Cleveland man accused Edwards of assault outside a nightclub in the city. The man is a friend of Cavs star LeBron James, who said Edwards' alleged assault was motivated by "jealousy."
The NFL is investigating the incident, and Edwards, a former Pro Bowler, could face a suspension. Browns coach Eric Mangini said earlier this week that he was looking into the incident.
This is the second major trade between the Browns and Jets since Mangini joined Cleveland after being dismissed by the Jets in January. The Jets acquired the fifth overall pick from the Browns in April, and then selected Sanchez with the choice. -- Sean Leahy
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State.

A talk with doomsday pro Robert Bast on how to get ready for the end.
And why the ferocious polarization and doomsday rhetoric concerning potential changes with trivial real-world consequences?
A fortune's on the table when people are unjustifiably scared and told their only option is to buy gold and prepare for doomsday.
Boustany echoed an idea that many came to believe, that talk of doomsday was overblown.
And what will cynical revelers see as their doomsday parties come crashing down around them?
It was he himself who made light of it, as he did of the whole war, and probably would of doomsday.
Don't forget that I'm to be your second—on doomsday morning, cousin.
The nation was mapped out, and the owners' names inscribed in the doomsday Book.
Whether these be sins or virtues old Nobodaddy will tell us at doomsday leet.
It is easy to argue that this is childish, that it mattered no whit though they kissed from now to doomsday.
Old English domes dæg, from domes, genitive of dom (see doom (n.)) + dæg "day" (see day (n.)).
In medieval England it was expected when the world's age reached 6,000 years from creation, which was thought to have been in 5200 B.C. Bede, c.720, complained of being pestered by rustici asking him how many years till the sixth millennium ended. There is no evidence for a general panic in the year 1000 C.E. Doomsday machine "bomb powerful enough to wipe out human life on earth" is from 1960.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents, working jointly with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, arrested two Culebra residents Sunday on drug trafficking charges and seized 3.2 kilograms of cocaine.
Carmen Rivera-Perez, 27, and Neyshma Carmona-Arizmendi, 20, both of Culebra, were arrested after CBP officers inspected their luggage onboard the Cayo Norte ferry. The inspection revealed two plastic-wrapped bricks that tested positive for cocaine. The bricks weighed approximately 3.2 kilograms.
"Those who think the municipality islands of Vieques and Culebra can be used as easy shipment points to import drugs into Puerto Rico, and thus, the United States, are mistaken," said Angel Melendez, special agent in charge of HSI San Juan. "We will continue to work with our Department of Homeland Security and local partners to identify, arrest and prosecute those who disregard our customs laws and try to import illegal drugs into our jurisdiction."
Both, Rivera-Perez and Carmona-Arizmendi had their initial hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce McGiverin who granted granted bail to both defendants.
The HSI investigation into the arrest of the two women and the cocaine seizure continues.

Disc Weights: 149-150
Review: This disc is great for sidearm drives, and is really good for hammer throws. It seems like the more beat up it gets the better it is for hammer throwing.
Posted: 09-03-02
Submitted by Joe McKee <email@example.com>
I am primarily a right-handed forehand thrower, and I find it difficult to get information regarding disc flight. I have only been playing for a month, but I practice every day in a wide-open field. The DX Banshee is my secondary driver, only because I get slightly less distance than the Valkyrie. I can make it go right, left or straight. It has slightly more tendency to turn over and roll then a Whippet, but much less than many other discs (e.g. a Cheetah or Discraft's Cyclone or Tracer).
Posted: 07-19-01
Submitted by Danny Schrider (Maryland) #15505 <email@example.com>
I have been playing 4 years of serious disc golf and consider myself a good advanced player, almost ready to make the leap. I am right handed and my farthest drives are 325-350 feet. I use DX Banshees (172-175 grams) exclusively for my forehand (side-arm) shots. I have tried most of the overstable drivers as possible forehand discs and I always come back to the Banshee. It can handle a lot of snap and still not turn over (unless it is really beat up). It holds a very over-stable line during the second half of the flight. I have used it to skip up to the basket on long approach shots a million times and it is a great disc off the tee for doglegs right. I am able to drive a Banshee 300' off the tee. I only use the DX version because it gives me the most grip, which I need to generate a lot of snap/flick (never try to forehand a wet disc). The DX plastic does change it's flight characteristics over time. It will become less stable the longer it is used. The good news is, now you have a great forehand roller disc. I have rolled an experienced Banshee over 400' off the tee. If you play in wooded courses, you will need to learn a forehand roller. My forehand is the strongest part of my game. I would not be able to compete without a Banshee to throw and roll forehand. The closest disc I have found is a DX Firebird, but the turn is not as consistant as the Banshee.

Tell others about this book
"Although this book is primarily about film, Isolde Standish has woven into it a vivid, and very gripping, social, political and cultural history of 1960s' Japan. She traces the struggle that was taking place over the narrative of post-war Japanese history: the 'official story' and its reflection in mainstream studio output against which directors such as Oshima, Yoshida and Imamura reacted bitterly. These and other directors developed avant-garde cinematic and narrative strategies to confront the repression of the past as well as the repressive nature of the state in occupied Japan. Isolde Standish places the development of the avant-garde within its contemporary intellectual context, (including the influence of French thought and literature), the complex politics of the left and the diversifications of the film industry as it faced economic decline. The book is remarkable for the author's mastery of the subject, the clarity of her arguments and the depth of her scholarship. Rarely does one read a book in which the pieces of the jig-saw fall so precisely and illuminatingly into place. --Laura Mulvey, Professor of Film and Media Studies, Birkbeck University of London" –
"... an illuminating study of the avant garde... There is a good deal of interesting material here, particularly as regards the theoretical concepts and influences that helped shape Japan's "counter-cinema"." – Sight & Sound, Book of the Month Feature,

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the WebcamDell.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as Dell Webcam Central Application belongs to software Dell Webcam Central by Creative Technology (www.creative.com).
Description: WebcamDell.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. WebcamDell.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 446,635 bytes (75% of all occurrences) or 438,403 bytes.
The program starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). The WebcamDell.exe file is not a Windows system file. The program is not visible. Therefore the technical security rating is 43% dangerous.
Recommended: Identify WebcamDell.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as WebcamDell.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the WebcamDell.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with WebcamDell. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the WebcamDell.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

This short, engaging book, subtitled "Personal experiences in the higher mountain trails with complete directions for the outfitting of inexpensive expeditions," was penned in 1923 by Eugene Davenport (1856-1941), dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1895 to1922. Need a rest? Head to the mountains, Davenport advises, for "Nowhere else is there such a succession of details to occupy the attention without mental strain as is afforded on the trail, and if it should chance to lie on the upper levels of the mountains, there is not to be found elsewhere so vast an outlay of nature's best or so changing a display of her mighty works. Altogether, there is nothing to be compared with a vacation on the trail."

"It was expected that the fourth phase [of prisoner releases] would be executed on the 29th of March, and it is deeply regrettable that so far the decision has not been taken to release them. The leadership committed to not approach international organizations during the nine months [of negotiations] for the sake of the release of those prisoners… I presented to the leadership the matters relevant to the prisoners and we decided that if the prisoners will not be released then we will approach 63 international organizations and request to join them. On this matter we unanimously voted and therefore signed a document for joining 15 international agreements."
That was how Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas chose to explain his signature on papers to join 15 international charters on Tuesday evening.
Confused? You're not alone.
The signing ceremony was one of those superfluous performances, full of pomp, by the PA.
In a live broadcast on official television, surrounded by all the members of the Palestinian leadership, Abbas chose to bring to a vote the matter of applying to international bodies — as though there were any chance that even one of the members of the leadership would vote against the push; as though it wasn't an overly scripted and staged performance, a set up in which the result could be easily predicted.
At times like this, Abbas is all too reminiscent of Yasser Arafat.
The man who helped Abbas with the ceremony was the head of the Palestinian negotiation team, Saeb Erekat, who had been threatening Israel for months with this international push.
But look deeper, and you'll see Abbas announced that he was immediately signing up for 15 international organizations, but not the big-ticket United Nations organizations. Look deeper still, and you'll note that the applications were not actually filed.
The president of the Palestinian Authority may have put his name to the applications, but he hadn't submitted them officially as of Tuesday night. And Abbas stressed in his speech that he intends to continue negotiations with Israel and the United States until the April 29 deadline.
The gap between the defiant signature ceremony and the announcement of continued negotiations didn't confuse the Palestinian media, however. Abbas's media has already declared the peace talks a failure and it stressed the appeal made by Abbas to the Palestinian public, to go out and begin peaceful resistance.
And herein lies a difficult and immediate problem for Abbas. What appears to be an attempt to pressure Israel and the US could easily inflame the Palestinian street, and could push Abbas and the Palestinian leadership once again up a tree from which it would be hard to climb down.
Maintaining the negotiations at this stage is not only in the interest of Israel, but also in the interest of the PA, which knows that erupting anger on the Palestinian street could be directed at Ramallah and Abbas first, even before Israel.
On Tuesday evening a "spontaneous" rally was held in support of Abbas and his "historic" decision. It's hard to say if the decision really is historic. It is even harder to say where such demonstrations may lead.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
The check or service engine light comes on to tell you that the computer has sensed a problem with a component in the engine control or emission system. When the light comes on the computer stores a code related to the failed component. This code can be retrieved with a tool called a scanner, once the technician has the code he has a pretty good idea of what part or sensor has caused the problem. Even if the car is still running well, the system should be scanned to be sure that you are not causing damage to the motor or other related parts. Sometimes it is something as simple as a broken connection or leaking vacuum hose or loose gas cap. If you get the codes and post them here we can help you with repairs. Some auto parts stores like Auto Zone or Pep Boys will scan the system for free, in hopes of selling you the parts needed for repairs. Thanks Bob
Thank you for your quick reply. I will take the car to get it scanned. Hopefully it won't be anything major. We have had very little trouble with this car.
Thanks again

I think you'll find that "failure" is by design. Passing this
information as part of the url would be done in plain text and therefore
allows for some security issues that were closed up about 12-18 months
ago by dropping support for that functionality IIRC. I'm a bit fuzzy on
all the details, but I do recall the matter coming up at the office and
we had to stop pushing links to people with that type of format.

Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Fans of basic cable savagery can let out a primal "Yawp" of delight. History's "Vikings" will be returning for a second season.
The scripted one-hour drama is currently still airing its first season (there are three episodes left in the nine-episode season), but it's doing well enough in the ratings to merit at least 10 more episodes.
The series premiere drew in an audience of over 6 million viewers, topping all the broadcast networks in the key 18- to 49-year-old demographic. And it's continued to do well, averaging around 5 million viewers per episode.
Travis Fimmel stars as Ragnar Lodbrok, the legendary viking warrior, who clashes with his local chieftain, played by Gabriel Byrne, as he expresses his desire to discover new civilizations across the sea.
The series was created by Michael Hirst, who also created the Showtime series "The Tudors," and is History's first foray into scripted drama.
In a statement, History EVP Dirk Hoogstra said, "'Vikings' is a win-win for us. As our first scripted series, 'Vikings' has paid off in a big way with critical acclaim, strong ratings and a passionate, loyal fan base."
The show's first-season finale will air April 28.

Columnea orientandina

Grown at Smithsonian Institution greenhouses
This photo nicely illustrates the interesting red-tipped underside of the leaves, as well as the characteristic pentadenia-section flowers. Other photos further illustrate the flowers, the spectacular large pinkish/lavender berries and an arresting combination of leaves, flowers and berries. The red tips of the underside of the leaves likely serve to attract pollinating humminbirds to the flowers, as do the red "windowpanes" characteristic of some other species.
The individual flowers are quite hairy and produce lots of pollen, as can be seen here.
Also known as Pentadenia orientandina.

The first stage in defining the application status is searching for information in the Kaspersky Security Network database. The statistics of Kaspersky Security Network make it possible to define the status to applications more accurately when they are launched for the first time and use optimum rules for controlling these applications. If the information about the application was not present in the Kaspersky Security Network database at the time of the first launch but was added later, the rules for controlling this application may be updated automatically. You may disable the rules downloading from Kaspersky Security Network or automatic updates of rules for previously unknown applications.
In order to disable loading rules from Kaspersky Security Network, perform the following actions:
When heuristic analysis is used by default, Application Control inspects each program for 30 seconds. If after that time the component does not complete identification of its threat rating, the program will receive the Low Restricted status (based on the Kaspersky Security Network data). Rating calculation continues in the background and then the final status will be assigned to the program. You can change the time allocated for application analysis. If you are sure that all applications started on your computer do not pose any threat to your computer security, you can decrease the time spent on analysis. If, on the contrary, you are installing the software and are not sure that this is safe, you are advised to increase the time for analysis.
In order to specify the maximum time to define the application status, perform the following actions:
You can specify time to define the application status only if the option Use heuristic analysis to define status is enabled.

These little girls picture themselves gliding across the dance floor in the arms of a handsome young man. Never do these dreams include a gown that is anything less than breathtaking.

Other option for you are to make your own dress or to have it done by a local seamstress. You do and should have some sewing experience if attempting to make your own.
Also start planning this well in advance so you are not cutting and pinning at 2 AM the night before your grad dance.
Also give a seamstress plenty of time to allow for extra fitting and adjustments. Be sure of the style you want, you can try a style on in a store at any price to see how the dress looks on n your figure type and then find a sewing pattern that is simi liar and take this to your seamstress.
Never buy fabric before a consultation with a seamstress asking her advice for fabric. Patterns do list suggested fabrics, but your seamstress will be your best source.
So, you do have plenty of options for Prom dresses on a low cost budget.
