Fire Scott Skiles NOW. I was at the Spurs game. He seems disinterested and never calls time outs during the extreme swings in the game. He does not believe that he will keep his job and is coaching. Watching Popavich coach was such a stark contrast it made me ill. At a time when this team has the most talent it has had in the last 5 years. Get him out and let's win some games. It is not the GM it is the coach that is the problem with this team. Period.
Pacers 95, Bucks 80
Listless Bucks drop fourth straight
Associated Press
A quartet of Bucks players can only watch as Indiana's Roy Hibbert goes in for a dunk.
Just a week ago the Bucks were basking in a 19-point shellacking of the Heat, a victory that pushed them four games over the .500 mark. On Saturday night the Bucks finished a miserable week that saw them drop to 16-16 with a loss to the Pacers. »Read Full Article

David Beckham is proud of his sons because they have impeccable manners and treat people with respect
David Beckham is very proud of his sons and their impeccable manners.
The Paris Saint Germain footballer and his fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham have tried to raise their three boys, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, and Cruz, seven, to be extremely polite and insist that they show respect to other people.
The 37-year-old star told Man About Town: ''Me and Victoria were brought up with strong discipline by our parents and to have respect for people and our boys have definitely got that.
''They've been saying their please and thank-yous since they were two or three years old. They're very polite boys.
''That's one of the first questions that we ask when we go for meetings at school is about their manners: and it's one of the first things their teachers say - that they've got impeccable manners.''
David, who also has a 21-month-old daughter Harper with Victoria, revealed he is determined to keep their children grounded despite Romeo becoming a model for Burberry recently.
Meanwhile, the British heartthrob admitted he is struggling to learn French since moving to Paris.
He said: ''Not very good. I haven't practiced since I was at school. I'm getting by.''
The footballer has planned a romantic weekend in the French capital as a belated 39th birthday celebration for Victoria.
A source previously said: ''The grandparents are on babysitting duty, meaning David has a whole day and night alone with wife.
''He's booked a five-star hotel and will pull out all the stops.''

2005 Audi A6 Quattro Q&A
2005 Audi A6 Quattro Question: Car doesn't start but MMI, lights, seat memory etc works fine
Have a problem starting my Audi A6. I'm putting a key to the ignition but nothing is happening, no engine check, no usual activity. Otherwise, everything works fine, MMI system, lights, seats memory etc. Please any advice? Update: I've tried different keys, even the plastic one. Got nothing. Have to tow the car to the dealer. Another problem - couldn't release gear shift to a neutral and steering wheel was locked too - had to drag it on flat bed truck with all wheals blocked. Than 6 men from Audi dealer service tried to get it out from the truck. Finally trick the gear shifter to neutral, but car won't roll. Had to use some silicon lubricant and push it to slide from the truck flat bed. Waiting for dealer specialist reply. Updated: Steering column replacing required. Audi Dealer couldn't find it in states, so order one from Germany. Waiting for replacement. - Yuriy
12 Answers
Answer 4
Hi Yuriy, I had EXACTLY the same problem with my 2005 Audi A6. Dealer told me that the onboard computer cannot identify the smartkey anymore. Needs a new transponder but in order to replace the transponder, the entire steering column needs to be replaced! Costs: $2,000. Wanted to ask you if you had any problems before that may have caused this. Audi lost a class action suit with regards to a rooftop leak. I had this problem and water entered the interior, even though the rooftop was closed. Since then, the MMI failed first, now the transponder fails. Want to check whether this could be related to the rooftop leak and whether I can claim it under the class action suit? ps. One thing I learned is that this will be my last Audi. - Visitor
Answer 5
I had the exact same thing happenned to me on my 2005 Audi A6 recently. It was a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) with an extended warranty that expired 3 weeks before I had this problem. The dealer had to replace the steering column and charged me $1,700 to do it. The steering column itself was $1,250 and the rest was labor and taxes. On top of this, add the towing charges. No small change. There is no way around this one, believe me, I tried. I have the repair manual for the 2005 A6 and in the manual, Audi spells it out very clearly that the steering column has no serviceable parts. I got the old part from the dealer, and the screws for the steering lock module are the one-way type (you can't unscrewed them, at least not without using a brute force approach). The one other solution is to try to get a steering column from a junk yard, but I wasn't sure if this was going to be more pain than gain. I don't have the software to re-program the keys. - Reins
Answer 6
I have exact same issue today with my 2005 A6, 2100 dollar estimate, no way to replace the part that failed this is incredible. Must have the entire steering column replaced. As another responder said, last Audi ever. Had same issuers with trying to get it on flat bed. The tow guy and I agreed not to try to pull it with electric parking brake on, transmission in park and front wheels turned with steering wheel locked on top of that the tow hardware could not be screwed in as the threads were entirely corroded even though the protective cap still in place. How can they design a car that cannot be moved when its broke!! Had another tow company send an old school tow truck that lifted the back end, and attached dolly to front end. - beachyd
Answer 8
I'm reading through all these replies to your problem and I am wondering to myself why people put up with this type of engineering. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier. Audi and other Europeon cars are electronic/computer overcomplicated nightmares. Why would you ever consider buying another car like this once you know how they are made? Consumers have the power to choose what they buy. They need to educate themselves and not let car manufactures get away with this kind of engineering. If you quit buying it the manufacturers will respond and make a change. Do your homework before you buy and let others know. - dteesben
Answer 9
I had the same exact problem with my Audi A6 2007 and I am an attorney. The display module comes on and so does the MMI system, the radio works. The car will neither crank nor the steering wheel will move. The gears are immobilized as well. I think there for sure a design defect, and I would like to have some of you respond to me to proceed with going after AUDI - mwchassan
Answer 10
This steering column replacement that Audi "stealers" seems to require in order to fix this is mostly not needed and is a huge money over-charge (ie they will replace and charge alot rather than try to fix). All that you need to do is reset the codes using a real VAG cable and software from Ross-Tech (cable cost about 300 bucks). For my A6 the reason the steering got locked in the first place was a weak battery, and a new one completely eliminated the issue. The other problem is how to connect the VAG to the car while the car is immobilized. To see how to do that click the youtube link (or search under Audi VW control modules wake up with out ignition) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNkNYqTrL3U - hotsak
Answer 11
We just received a 2006 Audi A6 with the same problem. We were able to find error codes in the Access/Authorization module. Clearing the codes in the module allows the car to start again. You will need a repair center with the right equipment to get directly in to this module, as it is not a typical "check engine" type of code. We aren't sure how long clearing the code lasts, or what caused the code to trip in the first place...but assumed to be the module mentioned here is going bad. We will test the vehicle over the next couple of days to see if code resets and access is denied again. - aveautomotive

ATLANTA - Cameron Maybin got exactly what he wanted - a chance to make up for his fielding mistake with a big hit against one of the game's best pitchers.
ATLANTA - Now that he's added Tim Hardaway Jr., Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer has narrowed his focus on re-signing All-Star forward Paul Millsap and starting guard DeMarre Carroll.
NBA teams can begin negotiating with free agents at 12 a.m.
ATLANTA - As names started coming off his draft board, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer didn't see a player who excited him at the 15th or the 19th spot.
So the newly minted team president of basketball operations waited for an offer that made sense.
ATLANTA - Grant Hill always wondered why the Atlanta Hawks struggled to attract big-name free agents.
Now the seven-time NBA All-Star faces a challenge to help make that happen.
The Hawks are coming off their best season in Atlanta - and that's not all.
ATLANTA - Now that Vic Beasley has signed a four-year rookie contract and finished his first mini-camp, the rookie defensive end is eager for the next phase of his development with the Atlanta Falcons.
Beasley, the NFL's No.
Nick Markakis singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Pedro Ciriaco added a pair of RBI singles and the Atlanta Braves beat the struggling Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Wednesday night.
Padres manager Bud Black said he was pacing the clubhouse "like a caged lion" after getting ejected in the seventh inning of a steamy game that lasted nearly four hours and started 56 minutes late because of rain.
ATLANTA - Gerrit Cole occasionally struggled with his command, hitting two batters and issuing a season-high three walks.
It didn't matter, though. Cole was still tough enough to become the NL's leader with nine wins and a 1.
FLOWERY BRANCH - New coach Dan Quinn believes the Atlanta Falcons made the right decision to cut ties immediately with Prince Shembo after the linebacker was arrested last week for killing a dog.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) says President Obama has "abandoned truth" in Washington.
"I think we've abandoned truth in Washington. The president has abandoned truth. They're deceitful in what they speak often times whether it's the rollout of ObamaCare, or any other subject. They're not truthful," he said Tuesday on Fox News's "Fox and Friends."
Coburn says the extension of unemployment benefits would not benefit the country in the long run. The Senate will hold a test vote on the extension Tuesday morning. Around 1.3 million people who are out of work lost that insurance last week. Coburn also rejected the way the White House is framing the debate.

The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
The four myths and opportunities of hiring veterans today
"In an era when "support our troops" bumper stickers are common and billboards and radio advertisements abound with rallying calls to give veterans a job, it is not surprising that many employers are overwhelmed and confused. Good intentions permeate most efforts to employ veterans at the national, state and local levels."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Helping veterans overcome job search challenges
"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "
'Opportunity Expo' seeks to connect veterans, employers
"A free job fair for veterans, active military transitioning to civilian life and military spouses will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday at the Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. The hiring event is being produced by RecruitMilitary, a Cincinnati-based military-to-civilian recruiting firm, in cooperation with the American Legion. Among employers set to attend are Allstate..."
TN veterans face tough battle to find employment
"By Naomi Snyder Terry Pack was an aircraft mechanic serving in the Army in Iraq, spending two of the last six years in combat overseas. Now that he's done his service for the country, he can't even get a job doing oil changes at Sears. "It's tough,'' said the unemployed Clarksville veteran, who was honorably discharged in January. "I've been looking for any job." A congressional hea..."
Veterans and Jobs
"Matt Murphy, RecruitMilitary's Senior VP of Business Development and Sales is a guest on Washington Journal to talk about a recent report that shows the jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is over eleven percent. He talks about connecting employers, educational institutions, and franchisors to veterans because of their character, skills and training, diversity, and securi..."

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Program
Reaching students with prevention messages is very challenging. Often students come to campus with preconceived expectations of what their drinking and drug habits should be. The college environment may also foster, tolerate, or even reinforce these beliefs. The following are ideas on ways you can support prevention efforts and assist students in evaluating their beliefs.

Tummy Troubles
If you're thinkin' you don't look as good in your bikini as
you did a few days ago, that might be some period-related bloating. You could
also have either diarrhea or constipation, cramps, and nausea. Some chicas
start craving specific foods and eating a li'l more than usual, too, so be
careful that you keep snackin' on healthy things.
You're not a drama queen, but you've been feelin' pretty
weepy the past few days. That's probably a sign that your period is right
around the corner. You could also be more irritated than usual or have trouble
sleeping. And in severe cases, gals have trouble remembering things and
concentrating in the days leading up to their periods.
Skin Issues
Extra acne tends to pop out on your face when your period
shows up because your hormones are goin' wild. You could also get some cold
sores and sometimes swelling in your face, hands, and feet. If your boobs hurt
a bit and are tender, that's normal, too.
Problem City
In general, you might just feel more tired and achy before
your period hits. You could have headaches, too. And if you have any other
issues, like asthma or allergies, they might be a li'l worse than usual.
Periods are never
fun, but we all get 'em, girls. So what do you do to keep your spirits up when
that time of the month rolls around?

Is it just me? Or is this taking a long time? I just really want to know what the DLR POH is for July. I think it's the Main Street Mickey Pin. I just want confirmation.
They seem to take longer and longer to post the upcoming pins this year, for some reason.
The POH is going to be Village Haus!
haha, only kidding about that one! :lol:
Careful! I used to work at Village Haus. I would totally buy it.
i think it should be the matterhorn because the matterhorn's 50th birthday is in July
Well, they fired the head pin guy so it's not surprising. Sad, but not surprising :(
What does POH mean?
I think it has more to do with all the work they are doing for this summer's O-pin House pins. They have all of this summer's Haunted Mansion pins listed now in a pdf on the Opin House page. See the thread I started on it for those pins. I would suspect that in the next week we will see the non-Mansion pins for July.
To me the official site is doing much better lately. The search feature is working again, they have updated some of the other pin sources, like DisneyStore UK, and they updated the Disneyland Hidden Mickey section. Now with any luck they can get the monthly pins updated more regularly.
For those who have been waiting, they have started to post the July pins on the official site. What is even more interesting is they have posted new pins to the WDW section. Included are mystery pin packs of the DLR Lanyard pins, like the carousel horses. Even more interesting is how they show that they are available in stores in Disneyland, not WDW. Very strange. I await them fixing that up.
The mystery pouches are for Disneyland HM pins, and will be sold at
Disneyland, not WDW. They fixed that today.
There is another mistake however. They posted a mystery pouch for princess tea cup HM pins, but these have not been released onto the cast lanyards yet. Good chance these will be the HM pins for July.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 19 September 2011 09:35AM
The drinks company will work closely with a team from Facebook to drive customer engagement and boost its brands, including Guinness and Smirnoff, which already have 12.6 million fans across the site.
The deal will include early access to forthcoming features and consultancy to push and improve social campaigns. Facebook will be working with Diageo's key brands in New York, London and Amsterdam.
Diageo will also target emerging markets such as Brazil and Singapore, where Facebook has established local teams as part of the deal.
Facebook will work with the company's roster of agencies from concept development through to campaign execution.
As part of the deal, Andy Fennell, chief marketing officer at Diageo is joining Facebook's "client council", the consultation scheme announced in June.
Members already include Wendy Clark, senior-vice president, integrated marketing communication and capabilities at Coca-Cola.
Fennell said: "We are already seeing real value from our work in this space.
"Over 950 Diageo marketers around the world have now been trained in Facebook boot camps to build their social media capabilities and we are seeing significant returns on investment across a number of brands.
"We expect this new way of working to deliver even more commercial value for Diageo."
Diageo already has a track record in creating Facebook-centric marketing campaigns, with Facebook forming a hub for its recent Nightlife Exchange Project.
Facebook already offers similar services to P&G and Walmart.
Earlier this year, (25 January) rival drinks company Bacardi announced plans to shift 90% of its digital spend to Facebook over the next two years, as it no longer deems dotcom sites relevant.

Dr. Manoj Jain: Patients who search Internet are better informed
Last week, as I was haggling with Patrick Bingham, a car salesman, over the price of a new Honda Accord, I noticed he was a bit slow and clumsy with his computer mouse. His right hand middle finger was in a splint.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Mallet finger. My tendon is torn."
Impressed by such a specific diagnosis, I asked, "Did your doctor tell you that?"
"No, I told my doctor! And he agreed! I searched it on the web. Found a picture of a finger that looked just like mine," he said, with a grin. "WebMD, baby."
Patrick had jammed his finger trying to stop the kitchen door from closing, and then the "next thing I see is the tip of my finger was bent."
Before I could tell him that I was a doctor, and that earlier I too had researched the car prices, we were off the Edmonds.com website, and onto the WebMD site where he reviewed with me the anatomy of the finger with its ligaments and attachment to the bones.
Did Patrick do the right thing? Is the Internet a safe place to self-diagnose?
A recent telephone survey found that one-third of Americans use the Internet to diagnose health problems. I think it is actually more — it's just that many people don't admit to it.
The survey, which was reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that, "Of those who reported being online diagnosers, 46 percent said the condition they identified required medical attention."
More interesting to me, as a doctor, was this finding: "Slightly more than half (53 percent) consulted a physician about their findings" much like Patrick, and surprisingly, 41 percent reported that their physicians confirmed their diagnosis — again like Patrick's case.
I get online diagnosers in my office and at the hospital. But few will admit they have read about their symptoms, unless I nonjudgmentally ask them about it. In fact, I enjoy talking to Internet-informed patients, because as I explain the disease and its cause and treatment, they have an "ah-ha" moment. "Now it makes sense," one patient with a skin staph infection told me.
Patients also get a sense of relief that their disease is not a dreaded flesh-eating bacteria or a brain tumor (which they read about as well, and were not completely certain that it wasn't).
There are also many websites to be avoided, such as one that is trying to sell you something or one not associated with an academic or well-known institution.
So here are my suggestions. Use the medical information from the Internet to learn about your health conditions, medications, and possible complications. Tell your doctor about what you have learned and what worries you have. Don't be shy or fearful to share what you have learned, because the doctor will not be intimidated by your web knowledge.
I say all this with a sense of unease, because there are some people who will read the medical information and mold it to support any self-diagnosis. Some will create symptoms to support the diagnosis. I did it as a medical student. Every disease I studied, I was convinced I had, until I read about the next one.
The Internet should not obviate the need for us to go to the doctor, nor should it turn us all into hypochondriacs. The Internet, like any tool, serves an important purpose: ease of delivering medical information to the general population.
If there is disagreement between what you found and what your doctor says, there is always another website for your doctor to refer you to — or another doctor to go to for another opinion.

Great Economy Chairs!
CEO from Mission, KS – Verified Buyer
These are definitely budget-friendly chairs, and although you're getting what you pay for, that's not a bad thing! These chairs look great in our conference room, they serve their function with no operational issues, and they're very comfortable to sit in for an hour to two at a time. We didn't need fancy, genuine leather chairs...we just wanted a professional looking set for our conference room and these definitely fit the bill! Pay close attention to how these are being delivered in your shipping options; we're on the second floor of an office building and the pallet of chairs we ordered were dropped in the parking lot and left with no notification! Thankfully our building engineer was close by at the time and let us know of the delivery. Eeek!
OUR SKU # OF2030Essentials Mid-Back Leather Executive Chair is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: E1008

Joining Textiles: Principles and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Textiles)by Ian Jones
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In one reference, this book provides up-to-date information on sewing, adhesive bonding and welding methods for joining textiles. Despite the importance of joining processes in product manufacture of all kids, before now, there has never been a single volume dedicated to covering all the major textile joining methods.
Following an overview of fiber and fabric types, natural and synthetic materials and their joining requirements, the book is split into four main parts. Part one deals with the fundamental theory of sewing and sewing machines. This provides an understanding of the mechanics of the seam before and after sewing and the dynamic forces generated on the needle and fabric. Parts two and three introduce adhesive bonding of textiles and welding-processes which overlap with each other, as the same equipment can be used for both purposes. The conclusion discusses the application of textile joining in some typical product areas, including non-iron shirts, car seats, tarpaulins, tents, protective clothing and in fabrics with electronic components. The contributions offer both scientific and practical insight in the use of sewing, bonding and welding techniques for application to all weights and types of textiles materials.
Published in association with The Textile Institute
The ability to understand how to join fabrics together and maintain the integrity of the join is critical to fabric structures. After an introductory chapter on the types of fabric and their joining properties, the first part of this important book reviews stitching and sewing technologies and factors affecting seam performance. Chapters discuss the mechanics of stitching, sewing and problems related to sewn textiles, mechanisms of sewing machines and intelligent sewing systems. Following sections discuss adhesive bonding of textiles including principles, methods and applications, and review bonding requirements in coating and laminating of textiles and techniques, such as ultrasonic, laser and radio frequency welding and heat sealing. The final section looks at applications of joining textiles as seams in non-iron shirts and car seat coverings, joining of wearable electronic components and technical textiles, and the joining techniques involved in nonwoven materials.
Published in association with The Textile Institute
For any fabric structure, the ability to understand how to join fabrics together and retain appropriate properties is critical. Joining Textiles: Principles and Applications, will provide a review of the principles and types of joining. Introductory themes include the types and mechanics of joining. Further chapters discuss factors that affect sewn seam performance and modelling joints in fabric structures. The final group of chapters explores applications and examples of textile joining. Topics range from the joining of smart textiles to issues affecting the joining of automotive fabrics. This will be an important read and reference for textile technologists, fibre scientists, textile engineers and those in academia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lies, Cons And The Case,
DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ronin [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Ronin is, in my opinion, is John Frankenheimer's best film - even picked up a few awards along the way. Robert De Nero's take on Sam is excellent, and even Sean Bean does well in this, as the crazy gun toting Spence. The star of the movie has to be Natascha McElhone as Deirdre; desperate to get that case no matter what. Was really pleased to see Jean Reno in this, his French flair being a centrepiece.
If you don't know what Ronin is about then prepare for a whirlwind plot, dodgy plans and wasted opportunities (by the gang, not direction), oh and probably the best car chases I've seen in the 90s. The best one being in Paris, closely followed by the one in Nice.
The film has a lot of twists and turns, and is a pleasure to watch, with De Nero, Reno and Bean this is an all star cast, with a great landscape and storyline.
The blu-ray is a total let down, only the film and the trailer is included. This is a joke as the Definitive Edition has an alternative ending, so why can't this BD? After all, it's only a 2hr film, and it's in MPEG-2 running at a steady 20Mbps - AVC would have been so much better. The uncompressed PCM is a blessing though, and it's commendable of Fox to use it. I would have liked MORE extras though, they should have included them no matter what definition they were in. The alternative ending is as good as the original, some have even argued better, so why oh why did they omit it?
Not a very good BD, if you have a passion for this film, then get it, it's all you could ask for movie wise. Otherwise if you want extras, and are not fussed about HD then do get the Definitive Edition, which is nearly a tenner cheaper and richer in content. The difference between the two transfer wise is noticeable, but only to the avid eye, and the sound is obviously better on blu-ray.
4/5 for the film, 2/5 for the blu-ray extras, 4/5 for HD transfer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Post Cold War Samurai Soldiers,
taking a rest - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
"Ronin", is for everyone who enjoys Robert DeNiro, a great spy tale, a host of great supporting actors, and some of the more amazing car chases filmed on Europe's very narrow, pre-automotive designed streets. The word Ronin describes a Samurai who has lost his master, and in this film, the word serves as a metaphor for cold warriors that no longer have the same Cold War to fight. The threats are not gone only changed, so the great games that have played host to a variety of films and movies are still available to talented writers and directors who can adapt.
A great deal of the action takes place at high speed on either very narrow urban roads, or wildly twisting mountain stretches that lack the same manner of safety barriers we are accustomed to in The USA, that make the chase scenes all the more amazing. The director and other key players who made the film have racing backgrounds which allowed them to bring a type of realism that goes beyond the typical Hollywood chase.
Jean Reno, Natascha Mcelhone, Stellan Skarsgard, Sean Bean, and Jonathan Pryce all make for a wonderful ensemble cast. The chase is for a case, and the cast that is assembled are allegedly a team in the hunt for a box that no one knows the contents of. The traditional players like the Russians are involved, the CIA, and then the new Russians along with the Irish, and members of agencies that either are active or are not, you never know until the film ends. And even when it does, the DVD offers an alternate ending that changes in a very dramatic manner how the film you just watched concluded.
"Ronin", is a very good film, a definite cut above the average, and well worth the one minute and two hours of your time it will occupy.

3.0 out of 5 stars The more you put into this film, the more you get out of it,
A. P. Monblat (Sutton, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ronin (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
My initial reaction was that there were simply too many twists in the plot for this film's own good. It was hard keep up, and in the end you just gave up trying. However, a second viewing with the director's commentary switched on revealed an actually very intelligent and well-acted film. While this extra input should not really have been necessary, it was worth it for this film. If you pay very close attention and/or are have seen lots of examples of the spy/crime genre and are therefore used to the perhaps inevitably twisted storylines, you may even get it in one! However, even if you do, Frankenheimer's wonderfully intelligent explanation of his work is very highly recommended, and a major treat in itself. (Where would we have been in the days before the DVD special features section?!) So, while a little unbelievable at times, the film itself is generally quite a treat too, with some genuinely great performances (especially De Niro's), highly filmic Parisian and Riviera locations and neat camerawork - not least in relation to the truly outstanding car-chase sequences. The latter really are absolutely breathtaking, and the result of huge effort and dedication by all those involved in their production.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, taught post cold-war thriller. A superb treat!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
An action espionage thriller directed by none other than the masterful John Frankenheimer, an all-star stellar cast what more can you ask for? All i can say is that the acting is great (especially from a beautiful Natascha McElhone), the tension and suspense magnificently controlled, the action sequences (particularly the car chases) breath-taking and the music, cinematography and script exceptional. If you want a good film to see on a friday/saturday night, this is the one. A well-crafted severely underated film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb car chases, Intelligent story; Well worth a look,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
This is an exciting look at European espionage, with many an excuse for great car chases. The precision of Frankenheimer's set is intoxicating, and I love the Robert De Niro, Jean Reno combination.
The DVD itself is adequate enough - MGM DVDs tend to easily overshadow that of Warner Bros. and the deleted scenes, director's commentary and behind the scenes look at the making of the movie prove a useful insight.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great film, pointless extras,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ronin (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
There's no denying it, this is a fantastic film. It's the closest that Holywood's got to making a Luc Besson style film. The acting's great, the pace never gives up, and the car chase scenes are fantastic.
However, to discontinue the original 1-disc version of the DVD in favour of this 2-disc "Special" edition has been a terrible idea.
The special features simply aren't worthy of having their own disc, this has simply been a way for the studios to re-release a 6 year old film at a premium price.
If you can still find the original 1-disc version, save yourself some money, and go for that instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Taut, tense, good - however there's that question!.,
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
Like car chases?, Want those "twists and turns" in a movie?. Then stop here, this excellent thriller from John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, The French Connection 2), has a fantastic cast : Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce, Michael Lonsdale and Natasha McElhone etc in this mystery story surrounding the retrieval of a silver case.
The only downside to 'Ronin' is not the action (brilliant, edgy), but that the "mystery" about the contents of that silver case (the said item being closed throughout the whole movie), is never revealed.
I'll give it an above average rating, however the whole 2 hours are letdown by keeping viewers guessing - long after it has ended!.
4.0 out of 5 stars Fast Lane Filming,
Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
Hitchcock's movies are famously all about a MacGuffin. For the director of `Ronin, John Frankenheimer, the MacGuffin is a bright shiny case, often handcuffed to its holder. We don't know what's in it, but it's clear that it must be worth something, and an Irish terrorist cell is clearly intent on wresting it from the hands of its present owners before the Russians do. The Irish bring together a team of five misfits to do the dirty work in the south of France.
That's the premise of `Ronin'. It's a cleverly put-together chase movie but with added twists to the tale. And ultimately we find out that it's not actually the case that our hero is after. But I will say no more for fear of spoiling the plot. Frankenheimer is an American director with a European feel for film. He states in his commentary how he intentionally made the film non-Hollywood in style. That's as maybe, and in terms of style perhaps we should give him the benefit of the doubt, but the holes in the plot, to which I refer to below, make this assertion not `wholly' convincing (excuse the pun).
Having said that, the script relies on some lucky co-incidences, which you probably only spot on a second or third viewing, but which Frankenheimer hides by quickly moving the film on without time to think. These co-incidences include Jean Reno's character passing the amphitheatre in Arles at just the right time. Other dodgy aspects include Michael Lonsdale obtaining addresses in Paris that the security services cannot find, and if de Niro can use his CIA contact to locate Skarsgard in Arles, how come he cannot in Paris? And don't get me started on the tenuous link to ice skates!
The film is (excuse another pun) primarily a vehicle for de Niro. But if there is one aspect of the film `Ronin' that stands out - and there are a few - then most people I feel sure would mention the amazing car chases. And they are undoubtedly impressive. These are covered in the extra on my DVD, a twenty-minute film called `Filming in the Fast Lane'. The DVD also includes an alternative ending featuring Natascha McElhone.
In his intelligent commentary, Frankenheimer reveals how the editing of the film was done in such a way as to make the viewer feel uneasy. Colouring was purposefully subdued, and shots were composed with both depth and breadth. He points out other subtle details and reveals that he had an SAS man on set to ensure an element of reality.
This realism works in some of the stilted and clunky dialogue between the team when they first meet - de Niro pronounces the SAS base in Hereford as `Heer-ford' (but Stellan Skarsgard gets it right) - yet in other areas one wonders who would brandish guns so casually in cars in public? And who would buy arms and ammunition on a quay in central Paris? And who would do the ambush in the centre of a market town when it would have been far better to have done it on the country roads?
As regards the car chases, Frankenheimer maintains that actual car speeds were filmed: there is no undercranking of the camera. He explains how it was made to appear as if the stars were actually doing the driving. He says nobody was hurt, but one wonders how many cars were written off. He believes the violence is not gratuitous; it's just quick.
So, an excellent movie seen once; but problems with the story arise - as with most films of this nature - when seen a second, third, or fourth time. Nevertheless, this is an impressive movie, with an impressive cast, well-shot and edited.
5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get any better than this.,
Steven - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ronin [DVD] [1998] (DVD)
Masterful direction by a strong hand combined with intelligent scripting, a first class cast and surely the best film crew in the business have given us this tour de force espionage thriller with stylistically and technically brilliant action set pieces.
The story revolves around Sam (De Niro) who goes undercover with a specialist heist team in order to get to the organiser Seamus, a renegade Irish bad guy. The team are freelancers, the Ronin of the title, at least, most of them are, Spence (Sean Bean acting his socks off) is an incompetent, lying wannabe and is quickly unmasked by Sam. The contempt Sam has for Spence is obvious in the handful of clipped exchanges they share before Spence is embarrassingly unmasked. Deidre (Natasha McElhone) is equally out of her depth as the heist co-ordinator, allowing Sam to take centre stage during the heist preparation and the outstanding chase and action sequences that follow. When the team are double-crossed, it becomes something of a buddy movie, with Sam and Vincent (the dependable Jean Reno) using each others contacts to follow the case to Seamus. There's a minor plot device about Russian buyers but this only serves to bring all the players together for the climax. There's style aplenty in every frame and more substance in a hushed conversation than most films muster in a full running time. As for what is in the case....it doesn't matter. It never mattered.

No. 4: "Pitch an inning without my pants." Here's another that wasn't on the list: Win my next start. It happened, but much less smoothly than the perfect game. Cain lasted only five innings in a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, and he was nowhere near as sharp. Then again, who is? Johnny Vander Meer was the only pitcher in history with consecutive no-hitters -- that must be the toughest record to break -- and Cain's bid for more hitless ball ended in a hurry. Mike Trout singled to open the bottom of the first. The Angels had 11 baserunners in Cain's five innings, which took him 100 pitches, and he admitted he might have been overly amped with all the attention coming his way in the wake of the perfecto. On Monday, he received a Samurai sword from Mizuno and won NL Player of the Week honors. By the way, here's his Top 10 list on what he'd do after the perfecto: 10. Throw a perfect game with my other arm 9. Convert the mound into an organic vegetable garden 8. Discover a cure for groin pulls 7. Open my dream salon 6. Catch a line drive with my mouth 5. Fix the economy ... Just kidding. That's impossible 4. Pitch an inning without my pants 3. Appear on Jay Leno's Ten at Ten 2. Throw a hole in one 1. Win the contest to replace Regis Philbin

Jimmy Bannos has grown up in the restaurant business, helping his parents in their various ventures in Chicago. In 1985, the Bannos family transformed their neighborhood coffee shop in the jewelry district of Chicago's Loop into Heaven on Seven, following Jimmy Bannos' experimentation with Creole cooking and extensive travel and study in New Orleans. Today, 26 years later, the restaurant still stands as one of Chicago's premier Cajun eateries. Bannos was inducted in to the Chicago Chef's Hall of Fame in 2007. His newest restaurant The Purple Pig, where his son Jimmy Bannos Jr. serves as executive chef, was named one of the ten best new restaurants for 2010 by Bon Appetit, and has won multiple other accolades for its food and wine selection.
Jimmy Bannos: I've been in the restaurant business for over 40 years and I can't wait to go to work every day.
Jimmy Bannos: My son Jimmy is my partner and executive chef at The Purple Pig. He is a fourth generation chef. My daughter works at the original Heaven on Seven along with my wife Annamarie and my nephew, Anthony Schittino. My other nephew, Andrew Bannos, is the manager at my Naperville, Ill., Heaven on Seven. My niece, Patrice Schittino, is a host at Heaven on Seven on Rush.
Jimmy Bannos: My father was my mentor. I got to work side by side with my father from ages of nine and 20 at a little diner we had. He and I worked together for another 17 years at Heaven on Seven. I used to go fishing a lot with my dad. Nowadays, I'm good for about an hour, maybe two, but after that, I can't sit still. Also, Paul Prudhomme is a mentor. I'm still in touch with Paul and just talking to him is an inspiration.
Jimmy Bannos: Both my grandmothers and definitely my mother. They were all unbelievable cooks.
Jimmy Bannos: I admire all the partners I'm involved with because we are all on the same page and respect each other.
Jimmy Bannos: When I travel I love to check out all the restaurants in the city. Growing up, we would drive to Florida each year and we would go to see family in Biloxi, Miss. That was always a feast — fried catfish, crabs — any seafood in Biloxi was awesome.
Jimmy Bannos: I wouldn't think of doing anything else in my life besides working in the restaurant business.
Jimmy Bannos: Don't ever lose the passion. Keep on reading and traveling, and don't be afraid of hard work and long hours. That's the business.
Jimmy Bannos: The same thing as now — a chef and to own my own restaurant.
