For some gardeners, rabbits seem as voracious and as ever-present as that other garden gobbling mammal, the white-tailed deer.

It's not easy being a Paul Giamatti character. If you're not reining in motormouth DJs, tackling Nazis in occupied Europe, suffering Alzheimer's, fending off a scrunt infestation or man-wrestling Tom Wilkinson on an airport runway, you're being confronted with a pile of household bills that'd scare Midas himself. That's the predicament his New Jersey lawyer is faced with in Thomas McCarthy's comedy-drama Win Win. With his human qualities and mastery of the gloomier shades of the human condition, Giamatti is the perfect cipher for the struggling everyman. In short, there's no-one better at capturing a flawed man trying to do his best – or, just occasionally, worst – in trying situations. He's one of Empire's favourite actors and to mark his return to the big screen we've put together a ten-strong portfolio of best characters to date.
Film: Private Parts (1997)
Keeping shock jock/interplanetary ego Howard Stern in check is a job that falls to Paul Giamatti's anally-retentive WNBC exec, Kenny Rushton, in this biopic. Stern doesn't like Rushton very much – you can tell by the way he calls 'Pig Vomit' and beats him up on air – while Rushton thinks Stern is a dangerous lunatic who should be fired, or better yet, killed. In fairness, he's probably right - at least on the first count. The DJ has the hair of Justin Lee Collins, the mouth of Chris Moyles and the agenda of Satan himself, persuading models to strip on air, making funnies about his wife's miscarriage and generally trying to facilitate the collapse of Western civilisation. Rushton could have been a by-the-numbers villain but Giamatti is too good for cardboard cut-outs. The movie wasn't much seen on this side of the pond (they had Stern, we had Wogan), but for anyone that got hold of it on VHS it was early pointer that Giamatti was an actor who could muster a giant reservoir of boiling, spitting rage ("You are the motherfucking Antichrist!" he yells in Stern's face) when required.
Film: American Splendor (2003)
The terminally grumpy comic-strip writer Harvey Pekar gave Giamatti free rein to scowl, splutter and harrumph his way through the slings and arrows of outrageous everyday life. A man who could have an argument in an empty house, the only thing stopping Giamatti's misanthrope actually trying it is the presence of his long-suffering wife (Hope Davis) and their adopted daughter (Madylin Sweeten) who give him someone to squabble with for real. Behind the craggy veneer, he's obviously having a ball as the most joyously miserable real-life character this side of Ian Curtis. Smart and funny, the film sees Giamatti share the screen with the real Pekar who comes through hardship, cancer and a brief stint as a talk-show personality just as grumpy as ever. We reckon the prospect of being played by Paul Giamatti would cheer anyone up. Apparently not.
Film: Sideways (2004)
Any casual Giamatti dabbler will probably know him best from Alexander Payne's sleeper hit. His perpetually grumpy wine snob Miles and dim pal Jack (Thomas Haden Church) are the Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon of this smart midlife-crisis comedy. Miles has skeletons practically spilling out of his past, as well as an unpublished and chronologically-challenged novel ('The Day After Yesterday') in the works and a candle still burning for his ex-wife. They're the ingredients of an entertainingly awful road trip. Wine is sipped, then drunk, then thrown back in industrial quantities as the odd couple find their liberating road trip anything but. The two women they meet along the way, Maya (Virginia Madsen) and Stephanie (Sandra Oh), do their best to cope with their antics but Miles and Jack take turns to make a complete snafu of their week of R&R. Miles is a classic Giamatti antihero. Somehow he rolls all those bursts of fury, childish sulking and snobbery into a character that you'd have a drink with – just not merlot. It's rarely mentioned but worth noting just how good he is at playing drunk, not as easy as it looks.
Film: Cinderella Man (2005)
The mighty Giamatti was born to play a boxing manager - that brow furrowed from slapping too many contenders back to consciousness, the disappointment carved by years training bested challengers, the bucket – while Russell Crowe was definitely born to play a blue-collar boxing challenger who must vanquish a man about seven times bigger than him and who has fists like small cars. It's a pairing made in Ron Howard movie heaven, and an uplifting story of struggle and triumph that won Giamatti his first – and surely not last – Oscar nomination. For the actor, Cinderella Man was an effortless switcheroo from the effete writer and wine snob in Sideways to the kind of hard-scrabble hero who populates Norman Rockwell paintings. He's so convincing in period pieces (see also: John Adams, The Last Station), but if he has a face for any era, it's definitely the Great Depression.
Film: Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
It's Giamatti versus Clive Owen in a deliriously unexpected feast for anyone who thought Michael Bay was going a bit arthouse or that John Woo had taken his foot off the pedal post-Face/Off. No danger of that here: it's truly batshit. Giamatti is the suspicious, possibly foreign assassin/villain Karl Hertz, the kind of guy who'd be thrown out of Treadstone for being a bit too rogue. He shoots women, hunts babies and spends his downtime trying to gouge out poor Clive's eyeballs with a scalpel. He also reads minds, and not to find out what you want for Christmas. He's really not a very nice man. Giamatti's CV was hitherto filling up with cantankerous, talky characters more likely to wield a glass of pinot than a sniper rifle, so we weren't really prepared for the demented glee with which he chucks himself into the role of balls-out bad guy. More please Mr G. We're ready now.
TV Series: John Adams (2008)
Okay, it's not cinema – hey, we're big fat cheaters – but we can't leave out what may be Paul Giamatti's finest role in this US independence origin story. Plenty of actors have played a real-life POTUS before, some successfully (Henry Fonda, Frank Langella, Bruce Greenwood, Anthony Hopkins - twice), some not so much (John Travolta, Robin Williams), but few have lent such intelligence or gravitas to their roles. It maybe unfair to compare the seven episodes of character development allowed by an HBO miniseries with a two-hour cinema biopic (sorry Trav), but Giamatti still does the heavy-lifting brilliantly and was well deserving of his Emmy. Adams' journey from disillusioned lawyer to heartbeat of the American Revolution is beautifully portrayed, and Giamatti shows that he can play diligent husband, dedicated family man and fiery campaigner, all while wearing some very silly wigs. Once again, he's helped by having a real female character to play off in Laura Linney's Abigail, and his screen time with Linney gives the historical epic an emotional core even a scrunt could relate too.
Film: Cold Souls (2009)
Cold Souls is basically cinema's second longest meta moment (Being John Malkovich is ten minutes longer). This blackly funny philosophical sci-fi sees Giamatti putting his soul into cold storage and flexing those facial muscles in a downward direction again. No wonder: (1) the darn thing looks like a chickpea, and (2) David Strathairn has accidentally sent it to Russia. This would piss anyone off, and it definitely wipes the smile from his nervy character, toiling actor Paul Giamatti, forcing him to board the first plane for wintry Russia for some literal soul-searching. The role suggests a pretty powerful sense of absurdity on PG's behalf: is he sending up the navel-gazing of one or two of his other characters? Is he sending up the whole crazy business of acting? Either way, his character's stressy attempts to master Chekhov ends up turning his own life into its own Chekhov play.
Film: Duplicity (2009)
Tony Gilroy's distinctly unspicy corporate thriller gave us Giamatti as a pinstriped CEO looking ever bit as peeved as you would be if you found out that Clive Owen was making you look silly behind your back for a second time. He plays Dick Garsik, unscrupulous corporate honcho, arch-rival of Tom Wilkinson's chief exec and all-round grumpy bugger. Bearing the perma-scowl of a man who's just found an ice-cream van in his executive parking spot, Garsik forgets Kojak's First Rule of Baldness (i.e. bald people are cool) and launches a by-any-means-necessary pursuit of his rival's secret formula for hair growth. This involves a pair of corporate spies (Owen and Julia Roberts) and more twisteroos than a camping holiday with Bill Paxton. It all got a little indecipherable, but Giamatti navigates the labyrinthine shenanigans with growly ease. He also gives us that rarest of beasts: a classic Giamatti action scene, three minutes of credit sequence slo-mo carnage in which he sets upon Wilkinson with moves straight out of a middle-aged Enter The Dragon.
Film: The Last Station (2010)
In Michael Hoffman's end-of-era Tolstoy biopic, Giamatti plays the writer's acolyte, Vladimir Chertkov. He's a subtle intellect with the sense of ownership over Tolstoy's legacy that befits a man who's made it through all of War And Peace without using a Letts Revise. That twiddly moustache, slick-back hair and suspicious demeanour: it can mean only one thing. Yup, he's the bad guy. And a sensitive Giamatti performance – whispering blandishments in shy secretary Bulgakov's ear and slyly needling Sofia Tolstoy, he's basically a Cold War spymaster in a cravat – sets up a battle of wills for the soul of the Russian novelist with Helen Mirren's formidable Mrs T. The only problem? Great man is still alive and underwhelmed to have his legacy picked over like a chicken carcass. Chertkov is a Tolstoyan, a believer in self-denial and moral ascetics. In Giamatti's hands he's also a kind of Tsarist era Ed Balls, a comparison that probably won't have you running out to join the Labour Party.
Film: Barney's Version (2011)
Like Stanley Tucci and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Giamatti's curse has been the label of the 'character actor' – as if actors ever play anything else (cough Jason Statham) – but he's quietly picked up some plum leads down the years. Barney Panofsky could be the plummest of the lot. He's the man at the heart of Mordecai Richler's novel, as complex and flawed a protagonist as you'll find in any of this year's dramas. The film spans decades of Panofsky's life, the ageing Barney rendered with the help of some Oscar-nominated make-up work and an ever-thinning pate. Our flawed hero blunders through three failed relationships, a career as a TV exec, a murder case and several thousand bottles of Scotch, in a life littered with moments of weakness but elevated by Giamatti's wry wit. He makes this selfish cad into someone relatable and even oddly likeable. He's especially terrific opposite Rosamund Pike in a rare romantic leading turn. That hangdog bearing is in full effect until the pain of his failed relationship is heartbreakingly washed away by a narrative curveball that really shouldn't be spoiled.

You should be able to. The fader just divides the output between front and back. It will be a bit of wiring, but it's certainly possible.fuzzydog wrote:Is it possible to install rear speaker and fader (the kit from Cyclemax) on my 93 1500 interstate .I just have am Fm .

Re: rear speakers
Yes, I just installed Polk audio Db501's in front and back. minimal trimming needed to make them fit but well worth the extra $$$. Ordered the fader kit off e-bay...direct plug and play. Fader connections are made behind panel above reverse control handle and rear speaker plug is found under seat(black plug). front speakers mounts modified with a pair of side cutters, rear speakers need to be trimmed slightly with tin snips(very easy). bought everything off ebay..

Politico has a story about Gov. Martin O'Malley considering a presidential bid in 2016. I think he should run, and have told him so. Hillary may or may not get into the race but even formidable candidates never know when there is a banana peel in their path. I live most of the year in Maryland and O'Malley is not only well-liked, but admired for his effectiveness.

Musee des Arts Africains, Oceaniens & Amerindiens, Marseille
What a great place to start the discovery of cultures that are not derived from Greece or the Europeans. The Musee d'Arts Africains, Oceaniens & Amerindiens in Marseille is an extraordinary place to soak in the world as percieved, understood and celebrated by the people of Africa, Oceania and America before the Spanish colonization.
It's exhilarating to find that not all peoples have followed the same route and held the same view and gone through the same pattern of growth as the Western peoples. In these rooms you will find each of these continents (for want of a better word) various cultures preserved almost in pristine condition.
If there is anything that can be called the centerpiece of the museum then it has to be the Tropical Aquarium. The other fascinating sight is the collection of skulls from the Solomon Islands, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu among other places.
The African room houses collections that are primarily from the Northern part of Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. These are also places where the French were mostly focused on during their colonization of the continent.
This is the perfect place to spend a whole day contemplating the amazing journey our human race has made over the centuries and across the Earth.

Last week: 25 (-1)
Record: 2-4
So apparently you can shove a receiver out of bounds and that's not PI, but if he comes back in bounds and catching a game tying touchdown, that's a penalty. I picked the Buccaneers last week, so obviously I was pissed about that. That and Vincent Jackson going for 96 yards, not scoring a touchdown, and then Greg Schiano running up the middle on 4 straight plays with a 250 pound back and not getting any points. Between the Jim Harbaugh safety decline, the Lions' backdoor cover, and the Cowboys front door cover, I was not happy about last week, my first losing week since week 3. Yeah, I know. Wah. Wah.
RB Doug Martin: Rushed for 85 yards (79 after contact) and a touchdown on 16 attempts, 9 missed tackles, caught 3 passes for 37 yards on 3 attempts
LT Donald Penn: Did not allow a pressure on 50 pass block snaps, run blocked for -1 yard on 1 attempt
LG Carl Nicks: Did not allow a pressure on 50 pass block snaps, run blocked for 8 yards on 4 attempt
C Jeremy Zuttah: Did not allow a pressure on 49 pass block snaps, run blocked for 50 yards on 7 attempts
WR Vincent Jackson: Caught 7 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown on 12 attempts on 48 pass snaps, 14.8 YAC per catch
LOLB Lavonte David: 7 solo tackles, 1 assist, 5 stops, 1 missed tackle, allowed 4 catches for 31 yards and a touchdown on 6 attempts, 1 pass deflection
FS Ronde Barber: Allowed 1 catch for 7 yards on 2 attempts, 1 interception, 5 solo tackles, 3 assists, 1 missed tackle
CB Eric Wright: Allowed 7 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown on 9 attempts, 2 pass deflections, 6 solo tackles, 1 assist, 1 stop, 1 missed tackle
CB Brandon McDonald: Allowed 5 catches for 79 yards on 5 attempts, 4 solo tackles, 2 missed tackles
LE Michael Bennett: Did not record a pressure on 33 pass rush snaps, 2 solo tackles, 2 stops
RE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim: 1 quarterback hurry on 31 pass rush snaps, 2 solo tackles, 1 assist, 2 stops

After more than 11 years at 11th and Federal, Kristian Leuzzi has closed Kristian's, his stylish Italian restaurant (see Google view below). The economy, he told me. Earlier this year, Leuzzi and his family revamped the Passyunk Tavern at Passyunk and Moore into Stogie Joe's Tavern, a humble neighborhood tap serving homey Italian food. Business is good there. He told me that he'll redo Kristian's into a BYOB that's "all about the food," sometime around the holidays or in early 2010.
Beer maven Chris Fetfatzes and Heather Annechiarico are saying "another month" for Hawthornes, their homey cafe-slash-gourmet deli-slash-brunch-spot-slash-bottle shop at 11th and Fitz.
I'll believe it when I see it, but Sticks & Stones may be opening at 1909 E. Passyunk Ave. in less than a month, says owner Nick Miglino. The project has been in the works since January 2008 and was initially planned for Labor Day 2008. "It's like how they took the beach at Normandy -- inch by inch," he told me. Equipment is expected late next week and menu is being put together -- all kinds of cuisine, lots of vegetarian and Asian dishes, entrees at $14 or $15.
The gimmick at Fuel (1917 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-468-FUEL) is the 500-calorie limit on the panini, wraps, and salads.
Ristorante Pesto (1915 S. Broad St.) has picked up its liquor license.

The moon is a constant presence in the night sky. Even when it can't be seen by the naked eye, the moon is still there lighting the landscape. In a painting, the moon can be more than a source of light. It can become a mysterious and mystical subject. An artist using acrylic paint can capture the subtle detail of the light the moon casts into the night sky and the majestic awe that nighttime sentinel invokes.
Things You'll Need
- Painting surface suitable for acrylics
- Brushes
- Circle guide
- Source Image
Paint a rough circle using a lighter hue of what your primary sky color will be. The circle doesn't have to be perfect. This circle will make up the rough shape of the moon's glow. How much bigger the circle is than the final shape of the moon will dictate the strength of the glow.
Create a ring around the lighter circle using the darker primary sky hue. This will be the color that makes up the majority of the sky. Leave a small amount of white space between the two colors to give yourself room to blend.
Blend the edges of the inner circle with the outer circle while the two paints are still wet. Create a gradient blend from the lighter color to the darks. This will represent the glow dissipating into the rest of the sky the further it gets from the moon.
Fill in the rest of the sky. Add fine details like clouds or other effects as you wish. Allow time for layers to dry to create definitive shapes.
Draw a circle in the center of the lightened area using a light pencil. You can use a circle guide or the bottom of a cup to create a perfect circle. Be sure the circle is centered properly. The glow should be equally balanced on all sides of the moon even if only a portion of the moon is visible.
Paint the brightest highlights of the moon within the circle. Fill in only the portion of the moon you want to be visible. Be sure the layer beneath is completely dry before starting on the highlights. Use white paint or white tinted with the primary color of the sky to create a dramatic highlight.
Let portions of the lighter background color remain while creating highlights. These sections make up the shadows of the moon, forming the shape of the craters. While the background color of the craters will be darker then the highlights, it will remain lighter than the rest of the sky, giving the moon the appearance of producing light.
Tips & Warnings
- Choose a good source image or work from real life. You can work from your imagination if you wish, but often the brain will attempt to create a representation of the moon and miss the subtle details that can be seen by studying a source image.

Good Ideas Inc. Luna Stepping Stones - Glow in the Dark! Functional accent pieces for your Tiny House or Cabin small lawn and garden. Create beautiful paths that illuminate at night and look like natural stone in the day. Typical glow times are 6-8 hours after receiving a day's worth of sun.
The Luna rocks look real because they are cast from actual stones found in local quarries. Use the Luna Stepping Stones as pavers to design a patterned slab. These stones are hollow so you can hide keys or other trinkets for emergencies. Not only are these rocks attractive, they are incredibly durable. Unlike actual stone which can crack after hard impacts or extended use, the Luna Stones will take abuse and never break. Harsh weather and extreme temperatures don't affect them either.
Their low profile also keeps them from becoming tripping hazards and most lawn equipment should have plenty of clearance*. Installation is as easy as setting them in a desired location, backfilling them with dirt, sand or other soil supplement, and then anchoring them into the ground with the provided anchors. It only takes minutes to set up and requires no tools..

After some touring and great success with the record (it hit #3 on the UK Indie Charts), band leader Paul Haig determined that the band did not need to do anything more and dissolved the band in 1982. Guitarist Malcolm Ross went to join Edwyn Collins, the man who signed Josef K to Postcard, in the post-punk band Orange Juice.Read More...

In the aftermath of a do-nothing Dec. 4 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meeting, Russia finds itself in a similarly vulnerable position as both OPEC and non-OPEC countries struggle with more supply than buyers.
For example at $50 oil, if Russia cuts a barrel, it's lost $50. Now, every barrel that drops off has the potential to put upward pressure on prices, but it's not adding $50 of upward pressure on the price of remaining barrels.
"So for every barrel [Russia] takes off, they lose $50, but may get $1 on all the other barrels they produce. I think when they do the math, they're just saying they don't see how that generates more revenue for them," Skip York, vice president of integrated energy at Wood Mackenzie, told Rigzone.
If the Russians were to shock the Western world and amicably agree to cut their own production, it would make it easier for the Saudis to save face while taking some of their own barrels off the market. And that could be the beginning of some sort of relationship between Russia and OPEC, an unlikely pairing.
Founded during the Cold War in 1960, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries were pro-Western governments steeped in capitalism. While Russia was part of the communist Soviet Union, it wasn't company that OPEC particularly wanted to keep.
And as Pavel Molchanov, Raymond James analyst, told Rigzone, "In theory, Russia could have joined since the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, but this was never a priority for the Russian government."
Ironically, Russia's current dilemma parallels the for-profit publicly traded world of Western corporations, York noted.
"Why is an ExxonMobil going to cut [production]? They're in the business of creating the most value for their shareholders. The Russians are in the business of creating the most value for Russian shareholders – the Russian government. And the Saudis are in the business of generating the most value for the Saudi treasury because that's where a lot of that revenue goes," York said. "They're all trying to maximize the well-bring of their stakeholders."
And Russia isn't known for playing well with others. After bullying much of Europe into dependence on its gas, Greece and other members of the European Union members are seeking ways to get out from under their long-time antagonist.
Throughout the world of oil producers, 2015 has been a contest of market share. As York notes, it's a gain-and-hold market and as the Saudis pursue market share in Asia and Europe, they're trying to shoulder Russian barrels out.
"When you think about it from a commercial perspective, if the Russians cut [in those markets], they've sort of given [Saudi] ground and ceded that turf in Asia or in Europe because Russian barrels would no longer compete there," York said.

Tapas Style Spanish Rioja Marinated Chorizo Sausage
Recipe by French Tart
A deliciously simple and yet very tasty Spanish Tapas dish. The beauty of this recipe is that is steeps in the wine for 24 hours - making it very easy to plan ahead. Serve in an an attractive earthenware dish and sprinkle with chopped flat leaf parsley. I like to skewer these with toothpicks, to make it easier and less messy to eat! Do try to use very high quality Spanish Chorizo sausage - the cheaper types do not taste nearly as good, and contain a very high fat content.
Top Review by SarasotaCook
My friend who is a pretty good cook made this for a party, he isn't into Zaar, so I suggested with many suggestions from other Zaarites and then gave it to him. He followed exactly and it was YUMMY. He has an outdoor wood grill which was perfect since most of his meals he cooks that ways, so it was ideal. And he got the good chorizo too. It was worth it. We just reheated for a few minutes in the same dishes on the grill tinight just to warm up and then sliced for all the guests. Very very nice. Absolutely not a bite left which is always a good sign.

Black Butler 100 Review!
Woohoo! We're here at the 100th chapter of Kuroshitsuji!
If you want to discuss anything about Kuroshitsuji, visit Oro Jackson and join this discussion!
To commemorate the 100th chapter, Yana created a wonderful cover:
Black Butler has been going on for a while now, and I have a feeling it's going to wrap up in the next year or two. Since we get a chapter each month, that's 12 chapters next year. I think we'll be entering our final arc after the witch village one has finished up!

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for Die Hard can be found here.
NYC cop John McClane (Bruce Willis), newly arrived in Los Angeles on Christmas vacation, stops to visit with his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at the Nakatomi Plaza where she works. While the Nakatomi employees are reveling on the 30th floor at their company's Christmas party and John is in the bathroom freshening up, a group of heavily armed thieves pretending to be terrorists, led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), stage a siege, taking all of the employees, including Holly, as hostages, leaving John to launch a one-man war in an attempt to stop them and save the hostages.
Die Hard is based on the novel Nothing Lasts Forever (1979) by American writer Roderick Thorp. The novel was adapted for the movie by American screenwriters Steven E. de Souza and Jeb Stuart. Die Hard was followed by Die Hard 2 (1990), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), Live Free or Die Hard (2007) and A Good Day to Die Hard (2013).
Actually, the villains are not terrorists but rather simply robbers who are posing as terrorists as part of their scheme to manipulate the authorities for their real apolitical goal. There are 13 of these "terrorists", and they are led by the former German terrorist Hans Gruber. Hans' second-in-command is compatriot Karl (Alexander Godunov), whose brother Tony (Andreas Wisniewski) is also involved. There are two Americans: Eddie (Dennis Hayden), who impersonates a security guard in the lobby, and Theo (Clarence Gilyard Jr.), the computer whiz kid. Theo is assisted in cracking the vault by Kristoffe (Gérard Bonn), who appears to be French. The missile team is made up of marksman Alexander (Joey Plewa) and loader James (Wilhelm von Homburg). Heinrich (Gary Roberts) is tasked with rigging the explosives on the roof, a job he undertakes with Uli (Al Leong) and Marco (Lorenzo Caccialanza). Finally there is Fritz (Hans Buhringer) and Franco (Bruno Doyon), who each carry out a wide range of jobs during the heist.
They want the bearer bonds worth $640 million that are locked in the Nakatomi vault. After adjusting for inflation that amount would be equivalent to $1.275 billion in 2014 dollars.
Normally when bonds are issued they are issued to a specific person or company. This is beneficial to the recipient, so that if the bond is ever lost, stolen, or destroyed, it can be replaced by the issuer at no loss. Bearer bonds are not issued to anyone in particular and are therefore more like blank checks. If they are lost or stolen there is no recovery possible, as there is no record kept of the original owner. Anyone who has physical possession of a bearer bond is free to redeem it, which makes them very tempting targets for thieves. In the early 1980s, the U.S. Government made issuance of bearer bonds illegal, as their use made it much easier for drug lords and organized crime to conduct their illegal activity, hide their assets, and avoid paying their taxes.
Holly told Hans that she wasn't married, but he can clearly see the pictures of her children on the desk. When he sees the same children on TV talking about their mother and father, he looks at Holly and sees her reaction, which prompts him to lift the face-down picture, whereupon he sees Holly and John side-by-side posing with their kids.
Yes, Karl is German. He just wonders why Hans would give him an order like that. That's why Hans repeats the order aloud after Karl hesitates, and he does so in English so the audience could understand—making the moment a bit more dramatic. Another possibility is that Karl did not realize immediately what his order was, i.e., the gunfire and shattering glass either distracted Karl or it prevented him from being able to hear Hans.
It is never explicitly mentioned by any of the terrorists how they plan to get away with the money while the area is full of policemen and FBI agents. Hans only says at one point: "when you steal 600 million, they will find you, unless they think you're already dead." Later, one of his demands is for helicopters, suggesting that he wants to fly out of the building to a safe destination. However, he then confides to his henchmen that he intends to blow up the roof, together with the helicopters and hostages, in an attempt to confuse the authorities into thinking that everybody died in the explosion. At the end, we see Theo, one of the terrorists, driving an ambulance out of the terrorists' truck while wearing a paramedic's uniform. So it seems that the terrorists were planning to fake their own deaths by killing everyone, hoping that they could escape with an ambulance while posing as paramedics in the ensuing chaos. They would have escaped to a safe place long before the authorities discovered that the terrorists weren't among the dead bodies.
When Hans asks John if he was a child who thought of himself as John Wayne, Rambo, or Marshall Dillon, John replies, "I was always partial to Roy Rogers actually". Hans then says, "Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr Cowboy?" to which John responds with "Yippee ki-yay!" The reference is to a song on Roy Rogers' TV show about being a cowboy. The chorus is expressed something like "Yippee-ki-yay..ki-yay, yippee ki-yo, he's the toughest critter west of the Alamo."
The "real" reason, according to screenwriter Steven E. De Souza, is that the terrorists were supposed to be shown wearing and synchronizing the same type of watch in the beginning of the movie. After killing a couple of terrorists, John McClane started to notice the watches, so when Hans handed John a cigarette, John saw the watch on Hans' wrist, which tipped him off. However, due to some script changes during the shooting of the movie, the scene of the terrorists synchronizing their watches was dropped, leaving this clue unaddressed to the viewer. That, of course, does not rule out that John still identified Hans as one of the terrorists by his watch. Another logical explanation is that John simply recognized Gruber's voice. John was hiding on the roof of the elevator in the beginning, where he could hear Gruber's distinct voice quite well, and later he had several conversations with him over the radio. And even if John did not recognize the voice, he may have just been overly careful, since giving a gun to a stranger in this sort of situation is after all very risky. Gruber's pseudonym of Bill Clay appearing on the staff board is a reason to trust him, although there are a few subtle reasons to raise suspicion. Even if Gruber was actually an escaped hostage, John may have expected him to hide somewhere, instead of wandering around. John may have been observing for a moment as Hans was checking on the explosives, which is certainly suspicious behavior, before approaching him. John probably knew from the beginning that Hans was one of the hostage takers but decided to humor him to see how Hans would try to trick him.
The Beretta 92F, a common handgun also used by the US Armed Forces since 1985. This was never issued to the NYPD, so McClane must have bought it privately. He continues using the Beretta in the next two Die Hard films and changes to a SIG Sauer P220R for Live Free or Die Hard.
Hans uses a Heckler and Koch P7 pistol whilst Karl uses a Walther P38K. Heinrich uses the same firearm as McClane, a Beretta 92F pistol (which is presumably where McClane gets his spare magazines from after killing him). All the other terrorists use Heckler and Koch MP5 submachineguns except for Karl who uses the futuristic looking Steyr AUG assault rifle. James uses a recoilless rifle against the police armoured vehicle and an M60 machine gun to shoot up Powell's car and take out the spotlights. They also use C4 plastic explosives and Karl makes use of stun grenades. Most of their weapons are of German origin like the terrorists themselves.
Tony has his neck broken by McClane during the struggle when the two fall down a flight of stairs. Uli, Marco, Eddie, Fritz, Franco and Heinrich are all shot by McClane. James and Alexander are blown up by McClane as they operate the missile system. Hans is shot and wounded by McClane then dropped to his death from the 30th floor. Karl is shot by Powell.
Theo is knocked unconscious by Argyle. Kristoff is simply knocked out cold by John McClane just before his final confrontation with Hans and Eddie as he is taking a box of bonds towards the exit, John knocks him down, and Kristoff is never seen again. Presumably, both are captured by the police afterwards. Robinson is heard instructing his men to sweep the building in order to check if there are any more terrorists left.
He didn't, however, he did know that the elevator car they used was stopped at that floor. All he had to do was insert the detonator and let the chair with the C4 & computer monitor strapped to it hit the elevator car and explode.
Marco, the guy McClane shoots through the table.
When the helicopters arrive, Gruber ushers all of the hostages up to the roof, which the terrorists have rigged with explosives. Taking Holly with him, Gruber then goes down to the vault to get the bonds. McClane climbs up to the roof and warns the hostages that they're going to be killed if they stay there, shooting his gun into the air to scare them, so everyone starts going downstairs. Unfortunately, the FBI helicopter mistakes McClane for one of the terrorists and starts shooting at him. Suddenly the roof explodes in flames, taking out the helicopter as well. McClane gets off the roof by tying himself to a firehose and jumping off the building. He then breaks the glass in a window and swings himself inside. He meets up with Gruber who is holding a gun to Holly's head. Gruber orders McClane to put down his gun, which he does, but when Gruber thinks that he's in control of the situation, McClane whips out a gun that he had taped to his back, shoots one of the remaining terrorists and wounding Gruber. Gruber falls backwards and out of a window, almost taking Holly with him. McClane releases Holly's wristwatch (to which Gruber was clinging), and Gruber falls to his death. Meanwhile, Argyle (De'voreaux White) crashes his limo into Theo's van (it's disguised as an ambulance), preventing him from getting away with the bonds. McClane and Holly leave the building together, and McClane and Officer Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) meet face-to-face for the first time. Karl comes out of the building armed with a gun. When he takes aim at McClane, Powell shoots Karl. Thornburg (William Atherton) attempts to interview McClane, but Holly punches him in the nose. Argyle comes crashing through the garage door in his limo and drives McClane and Holly away.
Going to Holly's house to interview the children on TV was an invasion of her family's privacy and would reveal to the terrorists that Holly had children and possibly where they were located. This would then give the terrorists the opportunity to find them and kill or kidnap them -- at least, that's the reason she gives in the second movie. Also, Dick threatened Holly's babysitter (or nanny) with contacting the INS (Immigration & Naturalization Service) to gain entry to the house as well -- VERY unethical for a news reporter. On the other hand, Dick's actions caused Gruber to take Holly hostage and made the situation more difficult and dangerous for John by giving Hans that much leverage. The daughter also answers Dick's question,"is there something you would like to say to them (parents) if they're watching?" This tells Gruber that Holly's husband is also there at the tower and that he is likely John McClane, which is why he turns over the picture to verify it. Thus, Dick also endangers Holly and John, giving Gruber the leverage he needs to take care of McClane.
The Extended Special Edition runs approximately 62 seconds longer and includes a further plot scene. As a result, some minor plotholes disappear. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
"In Die Hard, John McClane is only in Los Angeles because he wants to visit his estranged wife and kids at Christmas, in hopes of making amends. His plans are derailed by a terrorist plot in his wifes office, and before he has any chance of fixing his family situation, he has to lay down some out-of-jurisdictional justice. It isnt that far a stretch from Home Alone, where Christmas is the background to a story about family reconciliation interrupted by the violent beating of some criminals." Read more here.

i need your opinion on this. I was searching for good clubs to train martial arts for when I go to study abroad for six months and I found this guy, a trainer who I immediately felt drawn to. I looked the club up on fb, came upon his profile and I developed a HUGE crush on him, which happens very rarely to me. It's been almost a month and I'm thinking about him more and more every day. But the thing is, I have to wait another five months to move to his city for studying, to start training at his club and meet him. It feels like agony to wait that long. So I was thinking about maybe adding him on facebook, even though we have no mutual friends and don't even live in the same country at his point but I'm concerned that he might think of me as some sort of creep and wonder who the hell I am and how I found him. On one hand, maybe I should risk it and add him, maybe start a conversation with him, but on the other I'm very much afraid to possibly ruin everything for not waiting to meet him in person and develop a friendship first. I'm generally not that shy, but when it comes to letting someone know I like them, I don't have enough confidence, I think that I'm not good enough etc. He's a very attractive guy and I'll have a lot of competition, but I've learned that he's also a very sweet and kind person. So what should I do? - Concentrate on my studies and other important things for these 5 months and forget about him until it's time to go or try to connect with him beforehand? Sorry for the long post. Please help <3
Should I make the first move/add my crush on facebook?

Of all the comedy sub-genres, the television adaptation has one of the worst track records. Yeah, there's the occasional "Brady Bunch" or "Scooby-Doo," in which the filmmakers managed to pay homage to the source material while at the same time giving their movie its own delightfully modern spin, but most of the time the end product is more in line with "The Flintstones" or "Bewitched" or any number of other catastrophic misfires that not only failed as films, but also cheapened the work they were attempting to cash in on. Studios keep trying (reportedly, reworkings of both "The A-Team" and "I Dream of Jeanie" are currently being filmed), but for every step forward they seem to take five steps back.
"Get Smart" is the latest classic TV show to get the big-screen treatment, and while it's not the unmitigated disaster many feared it would be, the film still falls squarely in the category of "miscalculated failure." The writing is sometimes sharp, but in attempting to act as both a silly comedy and a major summer action flick, the film never finds a good balance between the genres.
Even at nearly two laborious hours, "Get Smart" doesn't find the time to wedge in any major laughs. Some quality sight gags aside, the comedy is uninspired. It's often obtuse enough to be considered borderline avant-garde, but the screenwriters unwisely chose not to take the plunge into real slapstick absurdity, and truly embrace the ridiculous nature of the material in the way Mel Brooks and Buck Henry did with the original series.
"Get Smart" also fails in the action department. The plot, involving the efforts of CONTROL spies Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) and Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) to thwart the nuclear ambitions of the villainous KAOS terrorist organization, is essentially an elaborate set-up to show our clumsy hero fake his way through a variety of action set pieces. Yet the film never allows Smart to be quite goofy enough to gain the viewer's sympathies.
Instead of blindly bumbling his way through potentially deadly situations with slapstick glee (as he should), this Smart comes across as far too capable to be much fun. So, without much inspired physical humor, we're left with a series of action scenes that are neither exciting nor properly stylized. They're just pedestrian and, more often than not, shockingly boring.
The cast is a mixed bag. As Smart, Carell very astutely opted for a fresh interpretation of the character as opposed to a mere impersonation of the original actor (as Carell did with Paul Lynde's Uncle Arthur in the "Bewitched" movie). I would have preferred that the screenplay made better use of his talents for physical comedy, but as written, Carell does a serviceable job of bringing the character into a new age.
However, as his counterpart, Hathaway brings nothing to the table with her flat portrayal of the long-suffering Agent 99. She and Carell share very little chemistry, and instead of addressing the character's apparent youthfulness with a plastic surgery plot device, the filmmakers would have done well to cast an older, more capable actress. (Personally, I'm thinking Natascha McElhone would have been the perfect choice.)
As KAOS operative Sigfried, the great Terrence Stamp is largely wasted, but thankfully Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is around to pick up some of the slack as the impossibly cool Agent 23. Yet even The Rock is no match for Alan Arkin, who steals every scene as The Chief. With his signature blend of crusty grumpiness and good-natured charm, he almost makes you forget you're watching yet another in a long line of lifeless TV adaptations.
"Get Smart" is rated PG-13 for violence, profanity and some crude sexual humor.

Animax, India's first channel dedicated to Japanese animation 'anime', has entered into a strategic tie-up with Sony Entertainment Television (SET) for creation of an Animax-branded block on the channel.
'Animax Kool Kidz', starting December 5, will be broadcast on Sony Entertainment Television daily between 5 and 6 pm. It will feature some of the best animation programmes from Animax. All the programmes will be dubbed and broadcast in Hindi and have been carefully selected to appeal primarily to kids of 7–14 years.
On the launch, Sunil Lulla, Executive Vice President, SET India, said, "The 'Animax Kool Kidz' band fits in with our philosophy of providing contemporary, unique and innovative entertainment to our viewers. It is our endeavour at expanding our viewer base, reaching to newer target audiences in the age group of 7–14 years. And with children always looking for newer, trendier television content, anime fulfils this need."
With shows like 'Indian Idol' and 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin', Sony Entertainment Television has redefined programming norms on Indian television. And the introduction of the 'Animax Kool Kidz' band on Sony Entertainment Television will only strengthen the channel's appeal amongst younger viewers.
Betty Tsui of SPE Networks, Asia, adds, "This tie-up also forms part of our efforts to introduce this relatively new entertainment genre to a larger audience. Anime already enjoys massive popularity in many parts of Asia, the US and Europe, and we have every reason to believe that this will be the next big thing for the kids and youth in India."
Some of the most popular anime programmes that will be airing on the Animax Kool Kidz block include Princess Sarah, Little Women, Princess Tutu, Princess Comet, Daigunder, Cyborg 009, UFO Baby, Baby Ba-Chan, Cyborg Kurochan and Fancy Lala.
Animax has three key primetime blocks as well as special programming on weekends. The channel's kids' band, 'Fun-Fun-Time', aired between 3 to 7 pm, Monday to Friday, has a series of programmes specially designed for kids and dubbed in Hindi for a larger audience. The rest of the programmes, which appeal to youth and young adults, are in English.
